I know I can always make it better later, and I can definitely take what I've learned here and apply it to my next project. Thanks, Ken.

I've reviewed a number of job applicants and honestly I'm tired of seeing someone send me a link to their list of 20 projects that are somewhere between 10 and 75% done. Documenting your lack of follow through is not impressive. :) If your goal is just to have this be a hobby, then feel free to tinker away indefinitely. As long as it's interesting than you're achieving your goal. If you really want to earn some money at this, then take what you've learned and move on the the next project. Make the next project about the same scale as this one (or maybe a little larger) and apply what you learned.
