Cute and Small and Ready to Brawl @aquadraco20 - Tumblr Blog

Yet another redraw for the @poketcg-art event! I'm so happy I could manage to snatch up a card for Hoenn during the first checkpoint, Hoenn was my first pokémon game and Cacnea one of the very first figurines I owned <3 I've been enjoying painting digitally and using limited palettes, and making this was a real party.

Original card by Tika Matsuno, Poketcg-art's scan of the card is below!

Also a gif of my progress below the cut, so you can watch my scary flats turn into an adorable cutiepie in just a few layers:

If the system ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess! Accounting may not be the oldest profession, but someone had to keep the books for them.

I mean, in theory I know that Excel is based on the structure of earlier accounting technology that's been around for hundreds of years -- what do we think we did to track commerce before computers? -- but it still kind of blows my mind to, for example, look at my ancestor's journal from a whaling voyage in 1770 and see spreadsheets in the back.

According to the book I'm reading, proto-Cuneiform writing seems to have actually started as spreadsheets to keep track of resources rather than as a way to record language or express ideas.

The administrators of that extremely early city had to keep track of lots of things, and doing this by memory alone was a nightmare. These spreadsheets were devised as a solution to that as an evolution of an earlier system that used clay tokens and balls.

Spreadsheets are older than written language as we currently understand it.

I went to Kauai for the first time and encountered many introduced species of critters. The rental we stayed at had an excellent bird book by Jim Denny that helped us recognize the birds, where they came from, and when/how they were introduced.

Red crested cardinal, originally from South America, Zebra Dove originally from Australia, Meadowlark from N America, and Shama from Malaysia. We went on hikes that were reported to have the native honeycreepers, but the Merlin sound ID only picked up Japanese white eye and Japanese bush warbler, which have both been introduced to the islands. Apparently the introduced mosquitoes and the disease they carry have been killing off the honeycreepers. Despite i’iwi decorating many tourist items, I doubt many tourists have seen them. I found an organization that is trying to help the honeycreepers: https://kauaiforestbirds.org/
