Learning OpenGL ES (and computer graphics concepts in general for that matter) while trying to make a 3D iPhone game for my graphics class this summer.

Today's my last day as an employee at my job of 6 years. I'll become a consultant starting Monday so if they need me, it'll be hourly billing. I'm just reviewing my emails today and reassigning my regular responsibilities.
Mind if I ask where you'll be getting your customers (clients) from as a new consultant?
