I took 4 years off and worked on my own projects, even one that was a medical device. No real successes.
And now I'm working as a contractor on a web app for some company called Apple. And am contacted by recruiters virtually every day, even without Apple on my resume.

My experience is that through contracting you can re-establish yourself even after extended time away. The bar is lower because the employer makes no commitment. And its likely you'll make more money in less hours contracting than a salaried job. It also helps to know a few things that are in demand.
