Drupal Day 2 - starting to get "Zen"

Installed the JPlayer (http://www.jplayer.org/) audio player for my music (http://tech23.com/music) - only one song up there so far while getting it right. I plan to change its look via custom CSS, but it's a good start. Also learned how to get the Nice Menus module up and customizable without changing their code at all. About four hours into it today so far, taking a break. I think it's going pretty well for my first theming attempt. I've built dozens of Drupal sites, and I do it for a living, but I've always used a Fusion-based themes and the Skinr module to customize them. And also a lot of local.css. But this one is from scratch and there's none of those compromises necessary.
