I think using html5 canvas and javascript just to show an image is a bit over the top when you could just style your img tag using css and all browsers can access your site.
Second of all

Who said I wanted all browsers to be able to access my site? 
I'm trying to keep the people on Windows XP out!!
Thanks for the input.

Oh wow! I didn't even notice that mis-spelling. That is really lame of me.

I will first respond to the fallacy of people thinking that a developer wanting to be entrepreneur needs to be a business man.
This is false. This skill can be into one of your partners. A developer does not have to be a business man if he does not like it.
Entrepreneur only means that you prefer creating a service that generate revenue instead of selling your time.
Paycheck versus recurrent income and equities.
It is a fallacy to mix up "being a business man" with "being an entrepreneur", these are two different things, you can be one without the other.
It is not the nature developers to be entrepreneur, but the nature of their skills.
Programming is one of the only job where you can create a service by investing nothing but your brain.

Steve Jobs was not a developer, and Steve Wozniak is not an entrepreneur.
People who do what they are best at doing are usually successful at it.

you are wrong on the terminology.
Steve Jobs is a business man and sales person. Wozniak is a developer.
But both are entrepreneurs.

That's the way I see it too, but I see I've confused people with that term.
Steve Jobs was a risk-taker / maker but more focused on making business.
Woz was risk-taker / maker but more focused on making things.
They are very similar yet I see the strong differences too.
Great feedback. Thanks for continuing the conversation.

Thanks for giving the feedback. I really like the things you say and agree with it.
I think of entrepreneurship (if that is a word) as the new Maker Movement, where you make things you want, then others are interested in them and you provide those things and people pay a fair price for those things.
But, alas, that is somewhat of a pipe dream, I know.

That whole first paragraph is fantastic. That's exactly how it has all worked out for me.

That does seem to be the way it works. Ideas beget ideas.
Great stuff thanks for posting.

Came back to reply again after taking a look at your site.
Very nice design. Very simple and easy to tell what you are offering and the prices your offerings are set at.
How many customers do you have? I'm just curious but if you can't share that info I understand.
Good luck to you.

Honestly, how many of you geeks would keep up with a 95 year old running 200m[^]?

Hell, I'd have trouble keeping up with this speedster[^].

I hope to be able to WALK 200 meters at age 95...
(However for now I'm running much faster than that)

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Why would I run for 200m?
One could trip and get badly injured. No, not worth the risc.

When I ran the Flying Pig marathon in 2013, my friend and I came up behind a man wearing a shirt with a map of the United States on it and the caption "I've done 2x50!". He had run a marathon in all 50 states, twice. We talked to him and found out he was well on his way to his third set of 50.
He was 83 years old.
I told him I want to be like him when I grow up  .

In my 20s I did not expect to live to 40, I'm 20 years into bonus time, there is no way I'm going to make to 95!

You must have gone back in time. I refuse to believe that their is any development going on in the world with that OS and VS version....and language. I just won't believe it.
