Are you ever too old to be an intern? I'm about to find out. 

About a month ago, I was looking for a writing job on behalf of my friend in La Crosse who's planning to move to Milwaukee later this year. That's when I came across a 10-week blogging internship offered by GotGame, a social networking site for gamers.

So I applied. I thought it would be cool to write a blog that targets a narrower audience, and I can't really afford a lavish vacation this summer, anyway. And since I've covered E3 and even scored an interview with Sushi-X, I thought I had enough videogame writing under my belt. But who would want to hire a 33-year-old intern?

After a 30-minute phone interview and a writing assignment over the weekend, I was offered the internship. I'll be doing the internship remotely, so I don't have to pack my bags for San Francisco. And I won't be bothered by menial tasks, like brewing coffee.

The Geek@Heart blog will continue. I know you were all worried about that.
