Pecha Kucha Night in Minneapolis

If you haven't heard of Pecha Kucha, it's an innovative forum where creative work can be shown. Pecha Kucha means 'the sound of conversation' in Japanese, and each presenter is limited to exactly 20 slides! The concept has taken off in cities around the world, and a friend recently e-mailed to let me know about a Pecha Kucha night in Minneapolis:

Imagine the following experiences, each packed into 6 minutes, 40 seconds:

Curbly Registration Changes

Curbly is more than just a blog; it's a community. From the start, Curbly has been different from other sites because we allow people to sign up and write blog posts that appear on our the front page along with those from our featured writers.

But lately, we've received more spam, self-promotional, and off-topic posts than good ones. And too many of the new user registrations are incomplete or inactive.

So, to preserve the high quality and integrity of the Curbly community, we're making new registrations available by invitation only, starting now. We'll also begin marking old, incomplete, and inactive user profiles for deletion (don't worry, you'll be notified before your account is deleted). In conjunction, we're turning off most advertisements for logged-in users.

From now on, to become a part of the Curbly community, you'll need to be invited by an existing member. We also have an invitation wait-list for people who want in, but don't know an existing member.

I want to encourage the involvement that makes Curbly different and special, and hope this move helps filter out the bad apples, while letting the community continue to grow.

Server problems

Hi all, just a quick note to let you know we've had some database problems this morning, and are working to get things back to normal. If you notice any posts or comments you made this morning missing, that's the reason why. Thanks for your patience.

Wee Baby Stuff

By now perhaps you've noticed the big ad in the side bar for Wee Baby Stuff (if you don't see it, try refreshing the page a couple of times). It's no secret that getting ready for a baby means researching, pricing, and buying a lot of gear. Wee Baby Stuff is a community dedicated to helping new and expecting parents figure out what to buy, and where to get it.
