Space Kimchi

I totally understand the need for kimchi.  I used to think my dad was weird for wanting to eat kimchi as soon as we’d get home from a non-Korean restaurant.  But I get older and I understand it more and more.   I was born and raised in the US, but I understand.

This is cool.  I’m a geek, so what?  I remember an MTV cribs, with Craig David I believe, where LEDs were in the walls or something and the dude could change the colors or flashy or whatever of his walls and whatnot.  It was awesome.

If/when I get a house, call me a snob, I’d interested in their “Bespoke Fireplaces”.
