> The entire site is 81.4KB right now, and 76.8KB of that is the font.

This means that the website could have bean 17x smaller if there was just no font loaded.

This article reminds me of http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ and http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

I don't think that 5KB sites should be a standard, some pages just needs pictures or JS to give the experience the users needs. But a developer should always know what he is doing: If all you want to do is a show/hide toggle, then don't include a full blown JS library.
