I have some starts on a few handy skills that I started developing before my design career.

I've got an engineering background that's pretty scattered.  Being a math major, doing functions that spit out some insane computation of what you put into it.  I also did fairly well at Open GL.  My C class thoroughly defeated me.  Way to introduce pointers and not say a lick about data structures.  I was so incredibly intimidated by programming after that ordeal and now every programmer I talk to says pointers are bloody negligible these days.
I'm looking into learning C#.

After a recent bite from the illustration bug, I know I have a lot of room for improvement but I feel like I have a pretty good start.  I haven't done anything with Adobe Illustrator which seems to be the master sprite-creating program du jour(yay scaling vectors!)

I also want to learn a 3D modeling package, although my main motivation is not game-related.  Any recommendations on a particular program that's approachable?

Suggestions and comments appreciated!

Also, it it just me or do Agavero Tequila Liqueur bottles look like the perfect fantasy Potion bottle ever?
