Mashed is a no go this year
As you may have seen over on the backstage.bbc.co.uk blog Mashed isn’t happening this year. Ewan sums it up well you put smart people in a room and great things happen. Put smart people in a room with their own DAB TV station and a red button service they can hack away with, and you … Continue reading
My favourite Mashed hack
Without a doubt my favourite hack (and music for that point) was Team Bob BBC Dylan – News 24 Revisited (Full Version) from James Adam on Vimeo. So cool. So clever.
It’s 4am and I’m on my knees
There’s just over 100 people here at Mashed, about evenly split between those awake and doing stuff (mainly werewolf and Rock Band at this moment in time) and those grabbing a few precious moments of sleep. Stace came up with a good idea early on, a night manager, someone to take over from a sensible … Continue reading
It’s all kicking off
Well this is it, the last time before mashed when I’ll be able to sit at a desk and type properly – not balancing my eee PC on my knee hoping the wi-fi is still up. It’s quite scary – 600 people have signed up now – there’s some more tickets available, but I just … Continue reading

Mashed sign up to go live
June 21st and 22nd is fast approaching and as everything is slotting into place here, the sign up is ready to go live. We’re releasing about 400 tickets this year, and given how quickly they sold out last year I’d keep an eye on the blog and on backstage.bbc.co.uk this week. Lots of exciting things to talk about and … Continue reading
