Hackday Ho!

Saturday, June 16th, 2007 at 9:16 am

I am sitting here sipping a coffee before leaving for Alexandra Palace to attend the first European Open Hack Day organized by Yahoo! and the BBC. My presentation is ready, I am listed for 11 o’clock (I think) and it is going to be amazing! I went to the preliminary drinks yesterday and the venue is gigantic, especially its 20ies style in the outside are is just beautiful to behold. Thanks to the organizers for pulling this off. More life-blogging (maybe) later.
