Very nice, I like the phrasing of: "Since 2009" instead of 2009 to present, and the fb://username instead of long URL.

Mine is on GitHub as well, though in the form of a web service serving JSON objects instead of XeTeX.

I jumped on GitHub for resume hosting as well, although in the form of GitHub pages instead [1]. Mine is different again in turn in that it's straight up HTML. I had toyed with presenting it as JSON but decided that would be deleterious to callbacks at job fairs and the like. No non-startup is going to

`curl -H 'Accept: application/json' http://#{mysite}

I hate fb://. It's not a real url and thus it's just as silly as me://firstname.lastname as if it were a valid URL for people to type in their browser.

Further, who wants employers to see their Facebook? I understand that not everyone has pictures of them drinking on it, but I can't say I've ever seen a personal profile be used as anything that would be relevant to random members of the public, let alone an employer.

That having been said, I just noticed Preview behind Chrome here and the words "social network analyst", so I suppose it makes a bit more sense for this particular persons' CV.
