Tomorrow I start learning HTML5 from a handy little beginners book. It includes a video tutorial where you build a very fancy blog. Fancy blog day 1 starts tomorrow. So if anyone knows of some good tutorials for HTML5, please let me know.

In other news, as this project is entirely funded on tip money from work (a parameter set by my wife and I) I found a way to shorten the time needed to wait before buying the Ultra iMac I posted in the OP.

I'm designing a pin to sell to those who will support my attempt the learn HTML and other computer endeavors. 5$ a pin, and honorary investor status mentioned on my website. I've priced it out as costing 200$ for the 700 pins required. I have also polled some of my regulars and have 50 people who say they will buy the pin, which if true, covers the initial cost of having them made.
