Hi, I'm not a designer, but here it goes.
1/ The vertical coloured stripes look good on the "content" part, but not on the top, as a background to the "I love ..." text.
2/ You "cut" the page horizontally below the "I love ..." text, but this seems to be dissonant with the vertical stripes. Maybe the top part should have a different background color?
3/ The vertical stripes don't go all the way down, it doesn't look right to me.
4/ The screenshots move up on mouseover, but it doesn't feel right.
5/ The actual content of your "Resume 2.0" is still too resumey. "ColourLovers.com has been a part of my creative process blah blah... I've been designing, building and writing blah blah". I'm not saying it's bad, in fact it's probably very good, it's just not that different from a regular old resume.
6/ I think that a website-as-a-resume is an all or nothing deal. I mean, the person either sees it and says "yeah I want this guy", but if not, I don't think they'll go to the trouble of actually finding your resume PDF link on the site, printing it and adding it to their stack of regular submissions in whatever system they're using.
7/ Shouldn't the "one-page resume" link to a PDF? I think it's broken, I can't get to your actual PDF resume to print it!
8/ As another commenter mentioned, you're using Wordpress to generate one page? It's even got an empty RSS feed =)
Hope it helps, good luck with your job hunting!
