Cool! On a side note, I just finished listening to Walter Isaacson's biography on Leonardo Da Vinci and wanted to inform you that you're in good company because he had serious issues finishing projects. Of course, humanity got the worse end of that by him not publishing his work. But, when you start to dwell on a project that you haven't finished, just think, "Oh yeah, Leonardo didn't finish many of his projects either."
