    I'd like to see this thread survive, so here's to putting my money where my mouth is. This is a draft CV that I'm considering putting into use in the near future. It deviates a bit from the conventional format in order to emphasize / de-emphasize some things. For example the "work experience" segment is really a condensed "my favorites" list rather than the standard "organization / position / location / dates" sort of thing. I think in many settings these types of quirks in a CV wouldn't be advisable, but I think it better frames the way I've been engaging in work of late. So here goes . . .
