Did you change the colors of the Pokemon or is it just my eyes. I think the creature had a white belly than a yellow one in the original picture. Some of the other colors are also off.

Other than that the creature looks great. Thanks!

I have a high resolution source to work from so I didn't use your picture.

The Pokemon you chose is Spheal.

Thanks, I will not go to an opthomologist then. I was a bit worried about my eyes.

I decided on shpeal because it can adapt its powers to air , water etc. Seemed kind of cool.

Bad news. I'm on an even worse browser (the IE from the club :) ) in which the background color isn't quite equal (the background is darker on this browser), so your attempts have failed, Xyzzy.

Post a screen shot if you can.

I beg to differ.

I can count in binary on my fingers reliably at 2Hz for a significant period of time. For short bursts I can go much faster.

It all comes with practice. Think how fast a competent pianist can hit the keys. That is much faster than my avatar runs, even after its recent makeover.

To be fair. I don't use precisely the action depicted. I place the palms of my hands almost flat on a surface and then raise each finger to represent 0 and lower it to touch the surface for a 1. With this relatively limited movement, I can go from 0 to 31 on my right hand in very few seconds.

All that wrist strength training in your adolescent years seems to have paid off.
