resume comments

I'm far less concerned with the formatting than I am the textual content.

First, put a summary at the top, summarizing who you are in 3-5 lines. Don't make the reader figure out how long you've been around, and what you're all about. See my blog entry here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5461

Second, unless your education is the most important thing about you for the jobs you're applying for, then don't make it the top thing on the page. I don't know what sort of job you're looking for, but in most cases the education is secondary to experience.

Are "Projects" different from "Employment"? If so, how? Perhaps "freelance projects" or "non-work projects" or "open source projects" or whatever's appropriate.

It's not clear really "who you are". A strong synopsis, like at http://petdance.com/resume/, will help that.
