 Picks of the Week: 18th February 2002

Welcome to Picks of the Week for the UK and Ireland! If you have a suggestion for a cool, useful,
or quirky site you'd like to see included in a future edition, why not send us an email?

Will Young
Will Young Well, who'd have thunk it? Last October we chose Pop Idol as a Pick of the Week, and now, four and a bit long, long, very long months later, we have the show's winner, Will Young, featuring again. It's been emotional, hasn't it? The site is pretty much what you would expect from the well-oiled machine that produces Popstars and Pop Idol - simple to use and easy on the eye. It will obviously be built out significantly as Will's CV expands, and some sections will be requiring registration after the first few weeks.
Found in Artists > Rock and Pop
 
Tate Modern: Warhol Exhibition
Tate Modern: Warhol Exhibition "More than any other artist of his generation, Warhol showed us that the ubiquitous imagery of mass culture had come to reflect and shape contemporary life." Indeed. This exhibiton was originally organised by the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and runs at the Tate until April, so there's plenty of time to pay a visit. The coolest thing on this site is the Warholiser - surfers can send in a photo of themselves, and the best ones will receive the full Pop Art treatment and 15 minutes of fame to boot.
Found in Artists > Andy Warhol
 
BBC Sport: Winter Olympics
BBC Sport: Winter Olympics The Winter Olympics might not catch the imagination in the British Isles in the way its summer sister does, but no-one can deny the athleticism and sporting prowess of the participants. Once again the BBC has come up with top notch coverage of the Games, providing team profiles, event guide, results and statistics, and a nifty little snowboarding game too. There's certainly been enough incidents over the last week or so to fuel excitement, what with judging scandals and crazy speedskating gold medals.
Found in 2002 Winter Games - Salt Lake City
 
Shark Trust
Shark Trust Sharks have long been the victims of fear and paranoia, and organisations like the Shark Trust face an uphill battle in convincing the public that these feelings are, in fact, grossly misrepresentative. But it's not all public relations - they fund research and develop conservation programs worldwide, not just for sharks, but also rays and skates. You can get the lowdown on a variety of species, and the latest news from the scientific community.
Found in Sharks > Conservation and Research
 
Parents At Work
Parents At Work "Parents At Work helps children, working parents and their employers find a better balance between responsibilities at home and work." The organisation campaigns for parents' rights, while advising companies on how to maintain a flexible and motivated workforce - sounds ideal, huh? So if you need advice and information on childcare, employment rights, flexi-time and any other workplace related issues this is the place to come.
Found in Parenting Organisations
