    Google’s co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, hired Eric Schmidt as their CEO in part because he was the only candidate who had been to Burning Man.

    "When Eric E. Schmidt, the 48-year-old veteran of Sun Microsystems (SUNW ) and Novell (NOVL ), took over at Google Inc. two years ago, it was trial by fire. One of the first orders of business was joining his new 20-something colleagues at Burning Man, a free-form festival of artistic self-expression held in a Nevada desert lake bed. Sitting in his office shortly after his return, tanned and slightly weary, Schmidt couldn't have been happier. 'They're keeping me young,' he declared."
