I often wonder about these city rankings -- every year they change their ranking algorithm. Olathe wasn't even ranked in 2009.

If you're a geek, you'll probably hate Olathe though. One good simple measurement is counting the number of nearby hackerspaces. The SF/Bay Area has no less than 5 hackerspaces within a 20 mile radius of each other. Olathe only has 1 which is in Kansas City.
