ADEPTAPRIL/NOV10
Mistigram: AdeptApril has drawn a stylized #ANSIart #telephone handset today in order to metaphorically convey that today is #AreaCode Day! Back when we were confined to the use of landlines and local calling plans, when telecommunications were conducted through #dialup connections over phone lines, the boundaries of these invisible territories demarcated specific manifestations of cyberspace that were beyond our reach. We make a big deal about having been established and rooted in area code #604 -- describing the province of British Columbia in Canada -- and coincidentally just a couple of days ago we wrote an extensive gloss of our home area code on a wiki we recently established, over at https://github.com/NicheInterests/mistfunk/wiki/area-code-604 , since entries pertaining to our corner of cyberspace are slowly but surely finding themselves purged from Wikipedia. If there are other subjects you'd like to see covered, please drop a line -- or feel free to send in an article yourself!

MIST0524/BLIPPYPIXEL-CYBER_TOWN
Mistigram: gotta make a move to a town that's right for me... gotta keep it movin', keep it groovin' with some energy. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen of #Cybertown (that must be the most meta neighbourhood of Geocities) was drawn by @blippypixel and included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

As art imitates life, no contrived glitch can be as compelling as a genuine hardware error resulting from the inadvertent contact between a fragile monitor and a hard object. Garlic Joy made this expensive discovery and immediately we knew we had a cyberspace readymade on our hands perfect for MIST1116. Where pictures of the contents of a monitor might conventionally be described as “screen shots”, these were branded “screen shards”.
