That's awesome, congrats on getting something done and out there. One of my New Year's resolutions is to do the same thing. Previously I would jump from project to project, ready to learn something as soon as I figured out the basics of the previous project. It resulted in learning a little bit of a lot of different things, but never anything close to a real project.

Now I have been working for 3-4 months on one project consistently evenings and weekends, and just like you sometimes I let it go for a week or two without a commit. I think the trick is to just keep coming back, even if it's a small commit to get the ball rolling again, and bit by bit you'll be getting closer and closer to a "finished" project.

I haven't checked out Meteor since it was first announced, do you still have to wrap packages in their specific wrapper? Is that a problem or hindrance in any way? I see you're using a lot of other stuff with it, so it must not be that big of an issue if that's how it still works.

As for the product itself, it looks nice. At first glance, I feel like I might use it as more of a blog than a specific CV. Maybe not a "blog", per say, but something where I could put some basic info and tidbits about myself as a personal landing page. Which perhaps is what the new CV is after all...
