Thanks to Open GL more and more games are coming online that can played within a browser, no download required. And that works because I mostly live on my laptop that's a couple years old and doesn't have much in the way of graphics support.

So I worked on a few more drawing yesterday, the Pickachu and the mobster above. For the Pikachu I used a regular image as a reference, I think it was a screen grab from the animated show.

Generally speaking we want to leave the brew for 7-10 days, so we are still early. But I thought we could check up on the brew and see if our SCOBY is growing.
