Pretty. But I would love just a long single page version of it, particularly when it gets to definitions. The page already loads all the content and assets at the start.
I didn't like "It is critical to remember that play is not exercise." and to improve it I would like to add something like "But it's totally fine if your exercise feels like play. If your exercise is fun it's so much easier to do".
"It is critical to remember that play is not exercise."
Focusing on what are you're good at (like algorithms for creating mazes), is in fact exercise. You're getting better at what you already consider yourself good at (assuming you don't stagnate - which I think the article is really getting at.)
Should you focus on weaknesses or strengths is a big debate, but strength finder (http://strengths.gallup.com/110440/About-StrengthsFinder-2.a...) seems like a popular camp.
Here's a tip for UX people: don't make anything flash more than 2 times per second. Also, "in the United States, websites provided by federal agencies are governed by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. The Act says that pages shall be designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and less than 55 Hz." So that's the official recommendation.
(Furthermore, I've never found learning about new algorithms to be taxing, and certainly never regarded it as a four-letter word.)
I feel I should point out that a lot of people would consider this bad advice. "It is critical to remember that play is not exercise."

"Play" is boring if it isn't challenging. I completely disagree with the dichotomy presented at the start of this presentation. It seems to imply that improving is painful, and is something you need to force yourself to do.
