Web of course is not the way I want to go. I did it in the past right about '99/'00 for a living and it was not a good way to make money. I'll probably take some time to do that, but I'm thinking networking might be the right way to go as far as a real job goes.
VB...yuck! haha.

Some newer technologies that I think would be good to learn would be:

WPF/WCF
anything Web 2.0 (I know, I know, it's really just a buzz word) like JQuery/Prototype pretty much anything using AJAX.
Python

Web Development can be a very good industry to get into, you just need to get into a Software as a Service project and get away from Web DESIGN jobs.

Honestly, without Web Development I would never of learned enough to get into the software side of things. The job I start in July will be my first Software job.

I've had three internships during college, one doing asp.NET/c# and SOAP web services, the other was just a html/css internship - it was easy money, the third was another web app using Ruby on Rails and REST. Without the first and third internship I think I would be lost as a programmer...Penn States IST program is more for networking and project management - not really development.

I like to program open source projects.
I want to start an open source project for the android. But it's way over my head.

Who else is a computer nerd.
All the nerds are in Bangalore, New Delhi and Mumbai.

I haven't gotten into AJAX/RoR/.NET at all. Definitely is where things are going online though.

Hi,

Graduated in computer science 04'...

I mostly drifted away from programming and into the infrastructure part of the industry... Worked as an systems consultant first working my way into an MCSE:Security and as an active directory / security buff... but now ive been working on Enterprise / Carrier level networks and working my way from an CCNA/CCDA certification halfway through my CCNP cert...

Can't complain much... theres always something new.

In case anyone's interested, I wrote up a complete history of my office setup over on my blog. It's something I've been meaning to get to for a while now. This is an ongoing project that has gone on for 8 years so far! Have some changes in mind for 2010...

Heh, wish I had money instead of monthly payments so I could post up a car journal as well :P

Thanks! It's tiny, but I call it home.

It's an HVX200, stripped back down to stock.

Here's what it looks like when I can be bothered to set it up with my 35mm adapter and rails:
