    Hello Adept!

    Final thoughts; I think Storm is just perfect. I come
    there to continually press enter to see RANDOM lightning
    strikes, AND to catch up on the calendar ANSIs... you've
    built a board that *I* enjoy coming by. (And congrats on
    the project! I'm a little bit of a fan!)

    Aww, shucks. *blushes*

    I do like the bits that make my board unique. It'd be fun
    if I could add some more, but I seem to be limited on
    ideas. Well, in the sense of, "I think this would be neat,
    wouldn't take a year (yeah, yeah, ANSI calendar), and would
    be something unique".

    Because it'd be nice to play around with Python scripts a
    bit more. But maybe eventually I'll think of something
    that's interesting-and-plausible with code-animated ANSI.

    PMFJI.. but I recently discovered this book:

    Maybe it can provide some design ideas?

    Here are a few sample pages, including the back cover:

    I've left them all in a higher resolution and dimension so that
    you can zoom in to see some details.

    I'm... not entirely following. So maybe have an image that starts as a black-and-white image with numbers or whatever, then converts into a colored image?

    I suppose that _does_ actually work as a concept. And the fade ins could be done in a variety of ways.

    I was thinking that the book's images might be a source for
    base images to use (ready-made, ready coloured) and expand on a
    theme or something.

    Ah, okay. Makes sense, though I've had plenty of experience with reference images when I can't picture something in my brain. Or when I want a very specific picture for some reason (e.g., a cat ANSI was _my_ cat).
