This is a super cool site. Great job!

As far as the overkill thing goes, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. The performance doesn't seem bad so I don't think it's a problem. I treat my portfolio as a space to try new things and adding features that I think would be cool (even if I don't know how to build them). If you're learning new things, challenging yourself, enjoying it, and it doesn't suck then who cares if it's overkill?

I completely agree. I'm basically using it as a playground, plus it's like a showroom of your skills.

Totally! I get that a portfolio site is a tool to help get jobs, meet people, and network in general, but is it really that useful if it's not something you enjoy working on? I don't think so.
