Putting a bit about personal interests into a CV is pretty standard - you want to display that you have some personality.
The placement is a bit off though - it's in an early important placement, and arbitrarily dividing up sets of skills. His personality is also well shown by the style of the resume itself!
Also, is it just me that is irritated by the vertical style of the "skills" graphs at the start and then the horizontal style when underwater? Was confused what I was looking at for a moment there.
