evilcommercials.com a failed video production company idea

pickafightwithawarlock.com from the rantings of Charlie Sheen

gremlinworx.com because it sounded cool

bblauncher.com was a blackberry app web site I used to operate

freakenstein.com my first domain, used to do web site development under that name

  • evilcommercials.com - You find adverts that are trying to be inclusive but are actually damaging and showcase them. You become a renowned critic of pandering and condescending crap commercials and offer a service to check advert concepts and storyboards before they are filmed, saving companies millions!
  • pickafightwithawarlock.com - A place where Dungeon and Dragons players can find local players (sorry, I don't play D and D, do they even have warlocks?). If they don't then it is for people who still play World of Warcraft to organise raiding parties (yet again, I don't play WoW so if my terminology is bad my apologies!). Basically a place where people can come together to form groups for fantasy games that need them.
  • gremlinworx.com - So you offer a specialised market place where super specialised workers can be hired by companies who need to "get rid of the gremlins and make things work".
  • bblauncher.com - you sell BB guns and related products. Alternatively you build a crowd investment platform that will only support businesses in the BB postcode area (zip code) in the UK - which is a town called Blackburn, or Barbados (BB Country Code) or Bourbon County, Kansas (state county code), or Brandenburg in Germany *ISO 3166-2 code)!
  • freakenstein.com - you showcase weird and wonderful design decisions where people have obviously copied one idea from one design and then an idea from an unrelated design and it looks awful. Think of it like reverse Dribbble!
