Brilliant -- I love source code easter eggs One of my favorites is on Vimeo - if you crack open the JS console, it pitches you on applying for front in dev work with them.

Hah! That's pretty brilliant. Nicely done, Vimeo. OK, who else has awesome source-code easter eggs?

    On a related note, I know the candidates have nothing to do with this, but I'm extremely impressed with Barack Obama's web presence. I was also very impressed with Mitt Romney's web presence during the election.

  Not exactly a source-code easter egg, but MySpace sends a random X-PoweredBy header with each request. A selection: X-PoweredBy: Nerd Rage X-PoweredBy: The fire of 1,000 SUNS! X-PoweredBy: Interns Of course it also runs on IIS, and this is MySpace we are talking about, so the geek cred is questionable here.
