I work at Firespring (http://www.firespring.com) in Lincoln, NE. It's an awesome place to work. The project I work on is LAMP for the site with some ruby api backend mixed in.

My side projects are where I have the most freedom and I just recently built and open sourced Obvious - http://obvious.retromocha.com. It makes it easy to build apps with good structure, good testing, and with pluggable front and back ends. So, if I want to switch out Mongo for MySQL or Postgres, it's basically painless.
