Employment Opportunities in California?

I am now back in WA, USA and looking for employment. Ideally I'd like to be based in California with a bit more sunshine. Do you know anyone who is hiring for a research or advanced design position? I am probably looking only at larger companies for the time being.

My major areas of experience include:
- mobile communities
- mobile research and design methods
- user centered software development processes
- requirements analysis
- prototyping
- ethnographic and other in-situ methods such as probes
- interface design and usability
- tourism
- computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp)

I have been considering working for a US telco, large IT firms, private research groups, or possibly a travel related company.

If you know of somebody I should talk to please mail me. I am also considering a trip to the bay area if you would like to meet up in person. If you would like to review my portfolio let me know. Thanks.
