It seems to me a case of the blog post title inspiring the project, instead of the other way around. But I am particularly curmudgeonly today.

That's ok. To be honest I had to suppress a similar feeling when I noticed the dog is just an entropy generator.

But then I realized I find this kind of whimsy article more fun than a lot of what gets accepted unquestioningly here on HN. It seems light hearted and done in good fun, and it's engineering-related, so no harm done.
