Exterminate! I always wanted to post some proper Dalek links. Here they are: First, there is The Dalek Builders Club, the first website dedicated to building full size Daleks. Blueprints, props, pictures, press cuttings, it's all there. Even a 'Constructing Davros' link. Unbelievable. Then there's The Dalek Data Acquisition Team Website, where you can download accurate Dalek Data as PDF files. The Dalek 3D Resource has 3D models of Daleks for download as well as a gallery of wonderful 3D renderings. Another 3D-Dalek site is the Dalek Extermination Page, with POV-Ray renderings, info etc. Finally, lots of Dalek links are at Dalek Links. Where else. Oh, another one - Dalek toys and models at Comet Minatures. 10:34:22 AM     |

Wide Angle. Before there were movies, there was the Panorama. The Bill Douglas Centre runs a nice Panorama Exhibition. Thanks, Robert! "The Bill Douglas and Peter Jewell Collection includes a wide-ranging sample of items relating to one of the nineteenth century's most influential ways of representing the world: the Panorama. The examples listed here illustrate only a few of the various forms of this large-scale medium and the ways in which it permeated cultural life for over a century." 8:49:26 AM     |

Tsk. Tony is getting a lot of Flak lately. Wonder why. It's time for Tony Blair to go. First the resignation, then Clare Short escalates her dispute with Tony Blair by telling the Guardian today it is time to 'organise an elegant succession'. [Guardian Unlimited] 8:09:50 AM     |
