Jason's March 07 Update



Hi Folks - Just a quick update about 3 things.

* I thought I'd share a couple of pictures I took yesterday. In the
afternoon I found out that the actor Jude Law was filming in Borough
Market near where I had a meeting so I got a shot of him. Then last
night I saw Al Gore give his "An Inconvenient Truth" presentation in
Cambridge which was very inspiring. Today I'm going up to Oxford for
my 3rd Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. The singer/
musician Peter Gabriel will be at the awards ceremony so I'm planning
to get a shot of him too. Just for the record, this is not my
typical week. I'm usually attending meetings somewhere in the South
East of England or strapped to my computer at work.

* I've completed the second year of classes for my Masters in Social
Enterprise Management. Now after a couple of papers for social
accounting and a research proposal due in May, I'll move into my
dissertation. At the moment it is going to focus on some sort of
combination of strategic management, value chain analysis and social
networks. When I'm done in March 2008 I'll tell you what its all
about in a page or less.

* In mid-April Catherine and I are going to fly to Santiago de
Compostela, in northwest Spain to celebrate her birthday. Apparently
it is beautiful and unlike the rest of Spain (side note: apparently
it is the 3rd most popular destination for Christians behind
Jerusalem and Rome). Then in May, Eric Smith and I will meet in
Copenhagen, Denmark to party and run half of the Copenhagen Marathon
(we were looking for a half marathon but this is what we've come up
with as an alternative) as well as do a little sight seeing in
Sweden. Finally, for my Stateside friends, I'm excited to be flying
out in October for Tyler and Maci's wedding (and Ty's 40th) in
Brawley, CA. Since I'll be out that way, I'll likely extend the trip
and make my way up north.

Have a good one.

Adios amigos,
Jason
