Part of hacker culture is an appreciation for problems solved under arbitrary, weird, and usually difficult constraints. Practical this is not, but it's a cool demo that might inspire something useful. If you lose that sense of playfulness with tech you might as well go work in some other field, because tech is about using things in ways they were never designed to be used... because it's fun first, and later because your under a weird constraint and you have this corpus of seemingly useless (at the time of acquisition) knowledge to draw on. Things like this only promote a deeper understanding of what can be done in pure CSS. Yes he took it too far, but that's the point.
