It's not my cup of tea either, but it's one of the things I like about this site. It represents a previous era of the internet, when people put whatever they wanted up on their personal sites. Nowadays we're all carefully curating an image, crafting our messages, and optimizing our content to fit our audience. This guy is not interested in any of that. He has something to say so he says it. He doesn't seem to care much how it's perceived, he's not trying to make money off of it, he doesn't care how it looks or if it has good SEO (at least as far as I can tell...). He's just being himself, with all his quirks and oddities. I think that's why it's so popular on HN right now. It reminds us of the way the web used to be.
