 : THE RETURN OF THE MISHEARD LYRICS
   Featuring Destiny's Child.
 
   At B3ta we've been running an occasional
   series of animated misheard lyrics.
   Joel from Rathergood says, "I am a complete
   spacker and have cloth for ears. I thought it
   was about time for the public to hear the
   true lyrics to the Destiny's Child track,
   Independent Woman."
   Listen vary carefully now:

   BTW: Previous misheard lyric animations
   can be found in issue 13 of this newsletter.

 : B3TA ADVANCED CHALLENGE
   Not Photoshop, but Macromedia Flash.
   We've decided present a new challenge that
   will stretch even the advanced members of
   b3ta community.
   We've got a tune & we want you to make an
   flash video for it.
   Simon Panrucker has supplied the MP3, It's
   very funny, a live kazoo reworking of
   Kernkraft 400's Zombie Nation.

 : WEB WIZARDS: DESIGNERS WHO DEFINE THE WEB
   UK web-art exhibition.
   The Design Museum in London is currently holding
   an exhibition featuring the work of Joshua Davis,
   Danny Brown and Yugo Nakamura, designers who have
   received much press recently.
   The first floor of the museum has been taken up
   with projected animations, iMacs and old gaming
   consoles.
   However, placing the work in this context adds
   little to the experience, simply serving as a
   stamp of approval from the non-web design
   community.
   So, save yourself six pounds and a cold walk,
   by viewing it online.
   Best stuff? Danny Brown's engaging, hypnotic
   and beautiful interactive work.

   Worst? Joshua Davis's soulless exercises
   in advanced technique.

 : DRAW YOUR MUM & DAD
   And get featured in an online exhibition.
   Craig at Flipflopflyin is asking you to submit
   drawings of your parents for his website.
   He says, "I hope people do nice pictures of
   their parents. My site was a mum & dad free
   zone, all the people who live there seem to
   exist without their families."
   There are already 15 entries, check them out
   and then submit your own drawing (we have.)

   Photoshop.
   Before Christmas we asked you to have a go
   on the Queen.
