Due to these templates not working properly I've had to post them on my own blog - copy and paste to your hearts delight from

Mashed - it's Hack Day time again and this year we've got a corker of a weekend planned.
Arrive on the Saturday (21st June) morning and listen to real people from the development world showing you how to build things and how to use the systems that will be available to you through-out the weekend - including a full broadcast TV station with the ability to build and hack your own interactive applications.
As the talks draw to a close the 24 hour hack begins - there's plenty of food (no it's not all pizza this year - think pie and mash) - distractions for when you need them and if all goes to plan a special event at midnight.
Sunday (22nd June) plods on to the live presentations at 2pm - hosted by a very very special guest star... if you thought last year was a great time - this year we'll blow your socks off.
It's all about you, if you want something let us know and we'll organise it.
The first 100 tickets have gone live - you can sign up at - - I'd be quick though - last year the first 100 tickets went in a little over two hours... we'll be releasing more tickets next week via the partners, but get in early if you want to guarantee your spot!

The guys at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Labs have been up late again. This time while at Xtech, they have transformed the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio's programme schedule into RDF and many other types of data. Of course this is all but they have taken it one step further and decided to play with XMPP (jabber) so they can create notifications of things your interested in complete with data from DBpedia.
´óÏó´«Ã½ Worldservice won Sony's first Multiplatform award just recently. The project was the Bangladesh Boat Trip which involved a team of people from across the new media space. Ben Sutherland along with many others internally and backstage's own Premasagar & Annesley of Dharmafly created a complete experience across different platforms
