I too would like a link to a web page that tells me the 'answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything' 

but since there isn't one - I'll just have to figure it out myself.

Maybe breaking things down into smaller problem may bring more responses.

Start with the basics and tackle one problem at a time.

You can always upgrade in the future.

a couple of those topics have to do with home automation. although this site is not specifically geared toward that, there may be some people that can help you along the way.

Those other ideas, i don't even know about. so good luck!
