You are cramming too much onto your pages. You need to let them breathe, and cut it down to your very best. Some of the things you have included are redundant. Make it lean and mean. The work is there, let it speak without overwhelming.

You reshuffled some of the pages from previous version and added new ones.

Page 10-11 layout (of new) looked better in previous version.
I liked the sequencing of projects better before.
New pages are fun (the crate tunnel), although the city/memory graph lacks a focal point. My eye just wonders...
Some pages have too much white (but I may be lone in that observation). Use more bounding boxes (like upper right boc on page 15) to give more structure to white spaces.

Otherwise it looks as good as it did the last time. Your job is to stop tinkering with it. You're done. Have a beer.
