As several others have noted below, I need to take a step back and figure out if I'm wanting to be on the cutting edge because I'm really motivated to learn or if I'm more concerned with keeping up with the trends. I know that for the foreseeable future, I'll be working with the MS Stack as it's my means of living. Of course, if they stick with what works and don't deviate from the norm too much - it would be much easier for me to spend time to learning something like Lisp (as someone had mentioned) or digging into another platform or language as you've suggested.
I did sign up for the iPhone Dev Program and buy an iPod Touch at the same time the Dev Program launched, but stress at my previous job left little motivation for me to program in my free time. My dev license/subscription ran out and I sold my iPod a while back, but perhaps it's time to revisit it or the Android platform.
I definitely have some options and some stuff to think about. Thanks!
