That is a honeypot.  A few well placed words and someone who is looking for one thing inadvertently stumbles upon this site.  It's there to get hits/money via referral.

It's online spam to capture google searches.  Your site was probably picked up because it mentions cabinets.

Lot's of fake blog sites like this are really starting to make finding information on the net a hassle.  I run across these things all the time.

Either that, or someone just made a project announcement that they recently installed their machine in a kitchen cabinet to sneak a game while waiting for the water to boil.  One of those nifty cabinets - hidden - as - a - piece - o - furniture.
