In actuality, Internet Stapler was originally envisioned to be a sort of link curation service, where bookmarks could be “stapled” to each other in order to provide a semantically grouped reading list. The domain was purchased but no work on the project was ever started. When the first renewal notice came in, I had the choice to either let the domain expire or put something up there. This was that something.

Internet Stapler is really nothing more than an iframe with a JavaScript/CSS animated stapler moving over top of it. Many sites no longer work inside such an iframe due to X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy headers, although some still do. If a site renders as a blank page, this is the most likely reason.
