I can only comment on point 3, as I'm doing the same thing you are (although
I might be a page or two ahead of you).  I basically did things in the same
order - I did the Chris Pine thing (a while ago) via his web page (I didn't
realize it was also a book until recently), then I read through most of
why's poignant guide to ruby(http://poignantguide.net/ruby/), then started
reading "Ruby in 21 Days".  I keep hoping one day that the regex stuff on
day 8 will make sense.  I also started Agile Web Development With Rails and
now I'm back to ruby in 21 days.  I also have the pickaxe as a reference
when I want to look over stuff.  For what it's worth, I think the order in
which you're reading the books is very good.  That said, I still suck but of
course YMMV :)
