I'll elaborate more on the resume.
I like the simple layout. but make the title/sub title stand out more. Like caps for "education", "activities", etc.
or add indentation.
BTW, I know a lot of design people like small fonts because it looks clean, and they have no problem reading it. But many people hate small fonts.
So, try one or two size bigger. I used Verdana size 2 for mine.
-edit-
the blur effect is quite neat. but since some people doesn't like it, maybe redo the image using less blur??
