Joys of the IdeaGarden
My 63rd birthday cake
23 June 2012
Well, at least I have the Volvo
Whisk, with legs like a water-boatman on water
Jennifer admires a brace of babies
Birthday cake, with zero candle
Cutting the cake, indelicately
Will had already organised a salon of some 25 people at the IdeaGarden, when he learned that this was my sixty-third birthday, and so a cake featured large - with a single candle in the shape of a zero. My sixty-third birthday cake, though a sixty-fourth would appear before me when I returned to Volans.
Apart from the four of us, and several colleagues from Physic Ventures (Andrew, Andy, Stacy), the guests included people like Jennifer Biringer (formerly with SustainAbility, now with the Nature Conservancy as Director, South Central Coast), Lynelle Cameron (Autodesk), Bob Adams (who I toured New Zealand and Australia many moons ago, when he was with IDEO), Gil Friend of Natural Logic, and Dan Crisafulli, who I worked with when he was at The Skoll Foundation.
Thanks to Will, all the guests got a signed copy of The Zeronauts.
