I bought this domain for a pet project a few years ago. That project hasn't gone anywhere so I thought I'd offer it up.

I'd love to see it used by some documentation repository or similar. Ping me if you're interested.

https://iwantmyname.com -- I've used it a few times before, gets the job done.

I got it from nic.io.

I find iwantmyname.com extremely frustrating and I'm trying to move away from them. YMMV.

In a similar vein, does anyone want remixgrid.com or gothamroommates.com for any sort of interesting or altruistic project?

http://nic.io is the official .io domain supplier and works quite well.

I could always use a domain since I am broke as hell

EDIT: Also am working on a new site but before I was just using blogger.com

I think it'd be interesting to see it used as a search index of README files on github. Though I'm sure you can use some sort of filter to create that anyay
