Three cities in Colorado — a state whose fortunes have been tied to the boom and bust of oil, gas and other commodities — are among the top 10 leading destinations for the nation's best and brightest as old cow and mining towns morph into technology hubs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Boulder, the small college town located just north of Colorado's capital, is ranked No. 1 nationally in the Bloomberg Brain Concentration Index, which tracks business formation as well as employment and education in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fort Collins and Denver follow at No. 4 and No. 10, respectively.

Are the best and brightest taking up skiing, or seeking higher ground amid rising sea levels?

    I search for Boulder-area software jobs when I was dating a woman who lived there. We broke up - I remain heartbroken - so I didn't move there. But the list I compiled for companies to apply to looked just like this [soggy.jobs].

    Add Google, SAP, and Intel. But thanks for the list.

      I have avoided large companies up till now as I'd like to list all their locations. I plan an easy way to copy entries to multiple locations, just by entering the city names in a text box.

      So far it's all been hand-coded HTML. But I have found that I can only create 25 listings per hour. Some of the automation I have planned will speed that up quite a lot.
