Thank u all for the advice. I realize that mostly what I would be having to do is learning the more technical end of things and working out ideas.
Since I haven't really been home much this past week and have had no real time to do research on what is already out there I have found myself thinking about what I have read about so far and looking at everything around me for ideas.
Although admit I find myself vaguely alarmed by some of the ideas that have cropped up. It has proved to be a very enlightening experience. More research is in order.
Thank you all, and if any ideas strike you, I would be more than happy to hear any further suggestions.
