Bonus points for going outside of the stock resume and trying something new.

I really like that you're thinking out of the box - that gets noticed - but a lot of what you're forcing into the resume format should be in your cover letter: your objective, the tag cloud, and the icon-centered text at the top.

That said, I can't read this. Keep in mind that in a lot of places you may be applying a non-technical person may be reading the resume, so having it built in a certain way can work against you.

Rand's has a great article (http://bit.ly/hd7fRt) on resumes and their function that can help focus you.

Hmmm I think you made a point - of having the cover letter content into the resume. I have especially noticed one thing with some start-ups - they prefer a 'cultural, personal' jelling. I put personal information, thinking of that.
