MIST1024/JONINSCII-RIPLEY


 Mistigram: In this Joninscii #ASCIIart animation, #EllenRipley (as played by #SigourneyWeaver in Ridley Scott's 1979 movie #Alien) holds an Incinerator unit, prepared to activate it in the direction of Big Chap.  This piece was included in last month's MIST1024 artpack.

ADEPTAPRIL/NOV20


 Mistigram: AdeptApril reminds us in #ANSIart that today is Name Your PC day.  Back when Mist started and we were running MS-DOS and using Amigas and Atari STs, the only systems we encountered that had names were Unix ones we logged into remotely, but now for networking purposes all Windows, Linux and Mac machines must have names.  So I guess today is more of a matter of 'dwell on your PC's mandatory name' day.

ADEPTAPRIL/NOV19


 Mistigram: today is observed as #GettysburgAddress Day, #EqualOpportunity Day, and Dedication Day, all of which mark the date #AbrahamLincoln delivered his famous 1863 speech at the dedication of the cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield. #ANSIart cannon by AdeptApril.

MIST1024/TGH-HOWL


 Mistigram: this small #ANSIart (or #blockASCII) quickie #werewolf illustration, 'Howl', in the monochrome pixelart style of EzeeShady, was a very welcome guest appearance by The Green Herring in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

MIST1024/ILLARTERATE-MUDMON


 Mistigram: this little yellow (it says green but I think they left out the blue) mud man must hail from the West Midlands, and not Jamaica as I initially suspected.  He was drawn in #teletext by @illarterate, and included in last month's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection. (What's so spooky? His dry cleaning bill!)

MIST1119/NBREAKFAST-LOGO

 


Mistigram: Here's one more take on the "do your own version of the Mistigris logo" exercise from our 25th anniversary five years ago.  @NBreakfast heard a strange noise from the server farm under his desk, and what did he discover but an AR manifestation of our brand hovering in the air!  It's been a while since we spontaneously manifested like that!

ADEPTAPRIL/NOV18


 Mistigram: this occasion may have gone unnoticed if not for AdeptApril drawing this #ANSIart screen for today, but it's Geographic Information Service Day today.  You can use your GIS for modeling, analysis, geocoding and more, so what are you waiting for?
