This Week: - Pop Idol Daleks - Cat Toilet Danger - New Flash Challenge ------------------------------------------------- ________ ____ __ ___ ____/ _)|_ // /_/ _ | ___/ _ |/_ </ __/ __ | __/____/____/\__/_/ |_| B3ta email 27 - 8 FEB 2002 - "We're saving the web" ------------------------------------------------- : DALEKS AUDITION FOR POP IDOL With Dead Kennedys cover version. Currently the UK media is saturated with Pop Idol coverage - a TV show to find a new singing star. Frankly we're all rather bored of it, and we thank James Craven and Joel Veitch from Rathergood for coming to the rescue. In their world - Pop Idol features Daleks singing punk. It's better that way. http://www.rathergood.com/popidol/ ------------------------------------------------- : NEW ADVANCED FLASH CHALLENGE With weird science song At B3ta we love setting challenges, we have our weekly photoshop challenge for all you photoshop nutters, and recently we've run a flash challenge - for the ambitious people who want to make web movies. We've dug out a fantastic tune, called "Why Does The Sun Shine." It's taken from a 1950's science-themed educational record. We want you to animate the song, and post it on the b3ta site. Download the song - it's a treat. http://www.acme.com/jef/science_songs/ ------------------------------------------------- : CAT TOILET DANGER More rubbish about kittens. What is it with the Internet and kittens? We haven't got a clue, but we're not ones to buck a trend, we'd rather leap on it and see what happens next. Here is our slide show warning of the dangers of leaving the toilet seat up with a cat in the house. http://b3ta.com/cattoiletdanger/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF More good links that we're too lazy to write about.
