For those wondering why it is in a kickstarter clone and not on kickstarter:

It is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard to setup a Kickstarter if you live in Brazil, in fact I found the existance of catarse.me really cool, and I am rooting for their success (specially if this shows to Kickstarter what they are losing by only using Amazon payments as platform and thus making incredibly hard to people from other countries to setup projects).

Related is Ami Ankilewitz, featured in 39 Pounds of Love (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/39_Pounds_of_Love), a fellow 3D animator who had a severe medical condition.

Cat Arse Me?

Catharsis. In Portuguese.

Thank you. The perils of domain names in a multi-lingual world.

Yes! It makes me wonder if all those good ideas I had for domain names are cuss words in other languages.

Is there a site that will check this kind of thing? And give examples of idiomatic usage?

Reminds me of this app called Rego that became famous in Brazil because 'rego' means 'butt-crack' in portuguese (at least in brazilian portuguese), and the site had lines like this: "Your Rego is private. Nobody can see what you put in your Rego. But we know that sometimes you wanna share your Rego with a friend, and we make that easy!"
