Show HN: What can you do in 8 hours? FSTR.net (fstr.net)

Really sorry about this. I wrote a very long description of what I was trying to do for the site (built between 7pm and 3am last night).

Unfortunately, it seems that whole descriptive comment doesn't exist or didn't get saved.

This particular "straight link" doesn't add any value.

So. Here's the story (again).

I bought the name fstr.net without knowing what to do with it. If read aloud, phonetically, it "says" FASTER and it's a short name. I highly doubt a games aggregator is the best choice for what to do with it, but I couldn't think of anything else, or didn't have access to any of the real stuff that'd be appropriate. (networking? automotive? athletic-supplements? news?)

Anyways - it's not really much of an Aggregator at that, basically takes a read of the "embeddable games list" from addictinggames.com (not real time) and displays a random set of choices for you.

Next steps include finding and writing scripts to aggregate other's games as well.

I've got a lot of respect for the HN community and am so often inspired by the things other people bring to "show and tell" that I really wanted to share and collect feedback from others.

What would you do with it?
