-# Curriculum Vitae for Alan Orth
-
-A CV written in LaTeX using the [moderncv](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/moderncv) class.
-
-## Why
-
-I decided to start keeping my CV in LaTeX because:
-
-* I can never find my CV when I need it
-* I have dozens of files named `resume.doc` on my computer
-* LaTeX -> PDF ensures a consisent, beautiful layout
-* Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)
-
-## Usage
-
-To "build" a PDF you simply type:
-
-	make
-
-To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:
-
-	make clean
