Functional Resume

I've been resisting changing a format of my resume for quiet some time. But finally, I gave in and re-formatted my resume from a standard to a functional format. I think I like the new form. It might be more clear to the potential employer and it saves the page space (I can finally return to having some white space on the page rather than squeezing the margins).
