Applied for 2 jobs at big companies last week. Fully qualified for the positions. No luck. Google my name and my age will come up - we don wanna this old wreck!

I searched intensively for two years, had a couple of dozen interviews. Never had a problem obtaining offers before, but suddenly no one was interested.

Actually it turns out to be the best thing that could've happened. The wife & I are building our own business and stand to do far better than the subsistence level income corporations typically offer. At least theres the hope we will.

Personally I'm glad I'm out of high tech - its a miserable world to waste a life in.

I saw a story on another blog of blacks in Iowa complaining that they are not getting jobs because of racism. No surprise there; but, they gave the guy's name, and then his age - 60.

I'm pretty sure it was more of a case of "ageism" than "racism".
