Ask HN: What are some resume/portfolio style webpages you like?

I am starting to think more and more that I should maintain my resume on the web rather than with desktop publishing tools, simply because of its dynamic nature. However, I'm also a firm believer that when choosing a medium, you should take full advantage of it and not just translate things over with no consideration for the differences. In other words, what neat things can you do with an HTML resume that you can't with a PDF?

Things I have thought of:

- Update it frequently - Conveniently link to projects - Make it small-screen responsive - Serve plaintext when curling it - Provide details on demand

Things you lose:

- Control over typography - Ensuring it fits neatly on a printed page

Any more tips for inspiration?
