As a "geek" that who has been a web developer since 1994, and who gets withdrawal symptons when away from my laptop, I can relate to your article totally.

Now that was some serious webdev pr0n ... not only did we not care about IE, we were specifically encouraged to build stuff that would ONLY work on Firefox. What you've done here is gorgeous, and highly inspirational. (Not sure I love the Bodoni all that much, though; it feels a tiny bit stretched on the vertical axis.) But ... daang, the possibilities!

I think the presentation could use a little work, perhaps differentiate the labels and form values with color and some spacing so there's some breathing room? It's certainly unique. Anyhoo, you mentioned: "The single-column is about 66 characters wide in the target font, and feels about “right” for readability." Of course "feels" is completely subjective, but there's an interesting article about line lengths over at http://www.viget.com/advance/the-line-length-misconception/ In particular, "Reading speed/efficiency was highest at 95characters per line".
