I don't know how many ridiculous projects I took on just to be able to say: Oh yah, I've worked with {whatever} language. Had a doozy of a time getting {feature} to work. I can honestly credit every IT job I've ever had since 98 to my online resume/portfolio. Of course3, now that I've found the job that I don't want to leave and I feel secure with it I've let my personal site languish. One thing I might add to your advice in this column, though I suppose it's not necessary but it helps: Love what you do. Do what you love. Though maybe that's where you were going with the orthodontia bit. Well, said.

I suspected some of this. Every time I learn something new my project pages and homepage evolve, but I just don't feel like I ever move past the moderately talented amateur level.

Through my last employer, I've worked on two orthodontic sites and one prosthodontic. They're all basically the same. Watch your step! The tip about the orthodontist is true.
