Can't speak highly enough of the Khan Academy internship experience--I interned with Kasra last summer and it was a pretty incredible few months. From the team to the mission to the culture to the work itself, it's A+ all around. If you're looking for a software internship, I highly recommend applying.
(By the way: the Khan Academy iPad app actually shipped _today_. Congrats to everyone back at Khan HQ!)
We've been pretty insistent on colocation for internships in particular, just because we think synchronous and serendipitous interactions are really important in these kind of apprenticeships.
But I'd love to be wrong and discover a way to achieve the same quality of results remotely and asynchronously.

We're serious about intern mentorship: http://bjk5.com/post/23266999170/how-intern-mentorship-works...
If you're an iOS dev who wants to be mentored for a few months by a former UIKit author, hit me up. :) andy@khanacademy.org
any chance you would consider mentoring remotely?
