ADVENT24/14_DEC24


 Mistigram: for this date last year, AdeptApril, SysOp of Storm BBS, drew this #HerrnhuterAdventsstern or #MoravianStar, a 26-pointed star part of German Christmas festivities.  It was included in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC31


 Mistigram: today we share the final image from AdeptApril's ~2020 Storm BBS #ANSIart calendar, a swan for the seventh day of Christmas on December 31st, marking a complete year we have spent posting one of these screens daily.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC30


 Mistigram: if the song lyric is to be believed, not only is this #goose a-laying, but there are five more just like it just out of sight.  Me, I think the #ANSIart illustrator AdeptApril was perhaps taking some shortcuts here.  (Granted, I would too in that situation!)

 Mistigram: on the fifth day of Christmas, AdeptApril drew for us... five go-old rings... in #ANSIart.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC28


 Mistigram: Today is the fourth day of Christmas, so AdeptApril has drawn one of four calling-birds  If the bird is able to establish a handshake and make a connection, it may even transmit some carrier signal! (See RFC 1149.)

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC27


 Mistigram: For the third day of Christmas, AdeptApril gave to us an #ANSIart screen of one #FrenchHen, the other two implied somewhere out of sight.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC25


 Mistigram: If you don't remember what you were given by your true love on the first day of Christmas, don't worry -- you'll get plenty of reminders.  This #ANSIart screen was drawn by AdeptApril.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC24


 Mistigram: #TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas on the screen of my system, and if I didn't share AdeptApril's daily #ANSIart screens, you'd feel like you'd have missed 'em.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC23


 Mistigram: the family of author Daniel O'Keefe was celebrating the invented holiday of #Festivus 30 years earlier than the rest of us started to, after it featured in the S9E10 episode of #Seinfeld #TheStrike in '97.  AdeptApril drew this #ANSIart screen in observance of the occasion.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC22


 Mistigram: For one day at least, it's time to reconfigure your web browser to accept them, because as AdeptApril indicates with this #ANSIart screen, today is #Cookie Exchange Day.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC21


 Mistigram: If you're looking for something in the darkness, this might help you to find it.  AdeptApril has drawn this #ANSIart screen in honour of #Flashlight Day today, calibrated to coincide with the #WinterSolstice -- the date of peak darkness and hence flashlight need.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC20


 Mistigram: As you may soon be having time to awkwardly fill with rarely-seen family members, AdeptApril invites you to beat the rush and familiarize yourself with the options available today, during Games Day.  This #ANSIart screen shows #chess, but the holiday was actually established by Games Workshop in 1975 so #WarhammerFantasyBattle might be more appropriate.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC19


 Mistigram: I hope no Christians with persecution complexes storm out after hearing AdeptApril wish them a Happy #Holly Day.  She drew this #ANSIart screen to celebrate the evergreen occasion.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC18


 Mistigram: They say that no two of them are alike, but they all get celebrated on the same date: today AdeptApril drew this #ANSIart screen in honour of Flake Appreciation Day.  Start the day with a bowl of corn flakes or Frosted Flakes, and season your lunch with bonito flakes.  (Dinner is your cheat meal.)

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC17


 Mistigram: on this date 121 years ago, Orville Wright became the first person to ever make a sustained airplane flight (for 12 seconds at least) near #KittyHawk, North Carolina.  AdeptApril has drawn this #ANSIart illustration of the #WrightFlyer in honour of the occasion.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC16


 Mistigram: AdeptApril's #ANSIart screen today commemorates that on this date 251 years ago, the #BostonTeaParty in Massachusetts took place, ushering along the American Revolutionary War of Independence.  One lump or two?

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC15


 Mistigram: today AdeptApril notes in #ANSIart that on this date 233 (!) years ago, the first ten amendments to the US Constitution, also known as the #BillOfRights, were ratified.

ADEPTAPRIL/DEC14


 Mistigram: I don't know when exactly you expected the monkeys to have their day, but turns out December 14th is it!  You'd better pause the Christmas baking long enough to go find a banana somewhere.  This #ANSIart screen was drawn by AdeptApril.
