blk0001.dat stores all of the transaction data for the block chain.
So to "inject" data into it you transmit valid transactions that are then included in blocks. Dan crafted transactions that contain the tribute message.
I think it is a neat hack. ("hack" in the sense of "clever, non-obvious way to use technology") I wonder how much it cost in transaction fees, or if he managed to do it entirely with free transactions...

Could anyone explain what is this/how was this done?

I know what 'strings' does. I just don't know enough about the bitcoin technology to understand what is the blk0001.dat file and how did they inject the strings there.
