My Resume/CV as a tag cloud

I came across an internal blog post by Ralph Demuth showing his resume/CV as a tag cloud created in wordle.net.  

This, of course, made me curious to see what my resume would look like as a tag cloud.  A quick Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V later, and voilà:

Even better, thanks to the comment thread on that internal post, I discovered that Wordle is a project put together by Jonathan Feinberg, an IBM Researcher.  Very cool!

Update - 6/19
One of the things I found interesting about the results is how the words I would have expected to be called out the most weren't necessarily highlighted.  Do I need to rethink my resume a bit?  (Not that I'm looking for a job right now, but it's certainly something I'm going to consider the next time updates are in order.)

Update #2 - 6/19
It looks like the meme is spreading:
Ian White:  I'm a tag cloud
Dvir Reznik:  My CV as a tag cloud
Alan Lepofsky:  Since so many others seem to be doing it, here is my Wordle
Roo Reynolds:  My CV, as a Wordle tag cloud  (with interesting juxtaposition against his Del.icio.us tag cloud)
Keith Strickland: Resume Wordle
The TED Blog: Wordle, an addictive new web toy  (although there doesn't seem to be any evidence it's directly related to this meme.)
