Very nice, and it's nice to see the local scene getting a bit of attention -- I live up in Beachwood, and work for a company that's based in the accelerator in downtown Akron. I may have to swing by for a meetup sometime.
The NE Ohio tech scene doesn't get enough credit, honestly. You've got companies like LeanDog doing some pretty nice stuff in the local Rails and Agile world -- with an awesome floating office, to boot. There's also definitely a startup scene around here, too -- though here in the Akron accelerator, it seems like the startups are biased a little more toward biomedical stuff. Though, that's a particular area that Akron's been trying to encourage, so it's not too surprising.
I moved over here from NW Ohio a couple of years ago and I don't get why so many people are negative about Cleveland and Akron -- I love it here. There's tons of stuff to do, indoors and out, there's a pretty good food scene if you like variety, and the cost of living is pretty affordable.
