BANNERS: INTERNET Day | October 29 (#InternetDay)

The first internet transmission started off as an attempt to transmit the text 'login' but after the 'l' and 'o' was sent, the system crashed. An hour later, however, on October 29, 1969, the entire text, 'login' was sent successfully and the rest, as they say, is history. Where would we be without the internet today? #InternetDay

Did you know, the first transmitted text was sent just a few months after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon?

Happy Internet Day!

BANNERS: National COLOR Day | October 22 (#NationalColorDay)

Can you imagine a world without colours? How appetizing would food look without colour? How about clothes? Would it matter what it looked like or how it fit? It's unimaginable. #NationalColorDay

The original image used in the banner below, contains one million pixels, each one a different colour.

When viewed in full size, the original image of the background used in the banner below, contains about 16 million pixels, each corresponding to a different colour on the full set of RGB colours

Happy National Color Day!

BANNERS: International CAPS LOCK Day | October 22 ( #InternationalCapsLockDay)

IT'S INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! Ok. I'll stop shouting but this parody holiday was created back in October 2000 by a mystery guy named Derek Arnold, to make fun of those who constantly have the caps lock on when they type. You know who you are. #InternationalCapsLockDay

Did you know, there's a second observation on June 28? It was added by Arnold in memory of American pitchman Billy Mays, (since he always appeared to be shouting in those infomercials).

BANNERS: CINNAMON BUN Day | October 4 (#CinnamonBunDay)

Not to be confused with the American's Cinnamon roll (since the Swedish cinnamon bun is much less sticky and sweet than the typical American cinnamon roll. Not to mention the Swede's version uses cardamon spice in the dough, unlike the American version), Cinnamon Bun Day was created in 1999 by the Home Baking Council (Hembakningsrådet) to show how much the Swedes love their cinnamon buns. #CinnamonBunDay
