If Dave Shea built the CSS Zen Garden, this was going to be the CSS Weed Patch; a block of code so semantically twisted that it would turn Joe Clark straight.

It was upon thinking of this analogy, however, that I really started to get psyched about this project. After all, it doesn’t take a genius to make perfect code dance. But it would be a real accomplishment to make a pig do the pachanga.

Since Marco and I are exchanging thoughts on the world of MySpace profile design, thought I’d dig up the origin of the MySpace Profile design ‘challenge’ that was popular in web dev a few years ago. That for me started when Mike Davidson turned his Profile (one-point-oh) into something beautiful.

I still fancy the idea of doing this. Except that I upgraded to Profile 2.0, so… yeah.

That he was later able to prank John McCain with it adds tasty sprinkles to the whole concept.
