Yes, this domain is mine. I am a CakePHP developer and wanted to blog
about my experience, but I have not been able to find time to do so.

I re-researched and feel fair, nominative use is valid in this case.

Nominative fair use is established when:
 - The product cannot be readily identified without using the
trademark;
 - Only so much of the trademark is used as is necessary for the
identification; and
 - No sponsorship or endorsement of the trademark owner is suggested
by the use.

)

More info is also available from the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

other websites.
