This only adds to the harshness I'm afraid, but: start over. Ditch the diagrams. This is coming from a guy who loves diagrams. The ones you have here are cute, and I mean that in a bad way. Just typeset your information thoughtfully, and call it a day. This is not rocket science. Make it a direct, simple, straight-up text document. When looking at resumes, I want to briefly admire the typography (if it's any good), then quickly scan to see where you've worked, what you did there, and what technical capabilities you have. Then I want to move on and look at your actual work. Believe me when I say that the people you want to work for have no interest in wading through bullshit information.
If someone sent me a resume with "being awesome" as a skill set, and thought I gave a pantful where/how much they browse online, it would get immediately thrown into the douchenozzle bin.
