I don't know about "cool" but here are some companies that employ remote coders: http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/telecommute/ I'll have lots more soon - I have identified the companies, but do not yet have complete information.

Nice!. Thank you for that.

https://weworkremotely.com/ lists a couple of companies

Those companies are mainly looking for "language X developers". I understand how that is friendly to people who have recent experience directly with " language X," but like so many other companies it artificially restricts the candidate pool. That to me isn't generally friendly to workers, remote or otherwise.

Anywhere, really. I think with the exception of Yahoo, most tech companies today will at least entertain the conversation. Of course it depends on what you're doing. It's an easier sell for a dev than a pm, for example. And much easier sell for a software person than a hardware person.

I'd say line up a job and then drop the telecommuting bomb during your salary negotiation. Always worth a shot.

Why does God in your footer not have the 'o'?

It is out of respect.

I'm not Jewish myself, however among Jewish people, it is considered disrespectful to every destroy a document that has "G-d" spelled correctly. So they write "G-d" unless they intend to keep the document around forever, such as old copies of Torah.
