Your resume looks almost exactly like the one I did right after I got out of school.
Couple things-
your references don't need to be on there.
Work samples don't need to be on there. Put them on your site. URLs aren't that visually interesting.
There's no hierarchy (I think someone else said this too)
Visually, everything is the same weight, the same importance. Think about what's important, make it look so. The names of the companies, the school you went to, something.You don't need to fill up the whole page with stuff. Whittle it down a lot and what you'll be left with will be stronger, and people will respond to that.
And dude, sorry to say, but your layout looks like you did it in MS Word. Could be stronger.
Leave out the little jokes, and use your creativity on the layout and typography.
