 Welcome to reallysimple.org 
They say all the good domain names are taken, but in my experience a lot of good ones are available.
http://reallysimple.org/
I'm using the acquisition of this domain as an excuse to add a feature to Scripting2 that allows me to map a domain to a blog post, as a placeholder.
I like this domain because the term "really simple" is starting to show up in marketing slogans. It caught on. All because RSS needed a name that made sense to human beings way back in 2001.
They also say the shorter the name the better. But names get conceptually shortened as they get more familiar. Every year since 2001, as the name "Really Simple Syndication" was repeated, the idea of "really simple" became easier to say and recognize as something good. So while the name has a lot of letters in its name, that's only in a technical way. The two words in it are very short, as concepts.
BTW, there's a bug in my domain mapping software that I will fix shortly. I have to go to a meeting right now. So for a little bit the placeholder site (this page) is not mapping correctly. Still diggin!

 Dear Arikia
Okay ==> I got it working.
If you want to "move in" to your condo, be aware that the pipes are broken and there are live wires exposed in weird places you won't expect them. But if you are brave (you said you are) you will be able to use this to create and edit blog posts.
User's Manual: Be zen-like. When you spot a problem understand that it is going to be part of the software forever, it will never be fixed. That way if someday by chance it does get fixed you will feel very very very fortunate.
It's as if you were starting a cross-country trip. Think: The trip is just beginning. Even when you reach the half-way point. It's still just beginning. Even when you're in the last 500 miles. Still a long long way to go.
That's the way I'm viewing it. In the past I've rushed through development of these things and made bad decisions. It felt like I was going fast, but in fact I was building something that could never be finished. The times I've made good products that won awards, made the users happy and made my investors rich were the ones where I took my time, paced myself and always thought of the journey as just beginning.
I think the same approach works if you're a user too. This way the users and developers can be on the same page, think about it the same way.
BTW, I'm going to turn this into a blog post on scripting.com. I've been wanting to say this for quite some time.
