I remember seeing someones resume written out as PHP code.  It was valid
code and read like a resume but when it was executed it would output
something useful.  I think this would be a great way for job seekers to
become visible:

$ gem install edavis10-resume

$ edavis10-resume
Hi I'm the mission statement...

$ edavis10-resume pdf (copies the resume in PDF to the current
directory)

$ edavis10-resume text (text format)

$ edavis10-resume contact
My contact information is ...

Easily a weekend project and would make resume updates very easy (e.g.
rake version:bump:minor).
