It’s the nineties again! There’s so many digital gatherings and events lately I’m beginning to wonder if babysitters can be tax deductable. But few have such excellent names as Silicon Hackney, happening on the 1st May at Space on Mare Street. I have no idea if it will be any good, it may be a little too far from the Shoreditch lights and into the real Hackney for some, but with a name like that, and being 10 minutes walk from Do Tank Towers in Broadway Market, how could I refuse?

I’m a long-time resident of these parts and ferocious fan of this pearl of cultural diversity and tolerance. I am often caught out when I wander West by the lack of free wi-fi in that part of the world - even the greasy spoon up the road has it - but, aside from the Shoreditch / Old Street environs, even I can’t claim Hackney as a beacon of digital entrepreneurship and home to the digerati. Still, I’m always up for a cup of tea and a biscuit with anyone, so hope to see you there.
