Musings
MAD
It is hard for me to believe that I would be writing about 'Mad Max' as I initially didn't have any desire to see the film. However, I was quite wrong. The film is indeed mad and zany, yet a brilliantly produced sci-fi. The film has earned over $115M since its third week in the box office. To view the trailer click here.
Meeker's Insights
A slide from Mary Meeker's 2015 Internet Trends report, just released yesterday. The slide, (6 out of 197) highlights the market cap of public internet companies from 1995 to present. Pretty wild stuff. The report is highly anticipated every year, as Mary (Kleiner Perkins Partner/Tech whisperer in Silicon Valley) has been known to predict some of the most impactful tech trends (from mobile, to the tablet to the on-demand needs of US consumers).

Shingles
Architectural Digest is featuring several shingle-style homes on their site celebrating the classic New England architecture. Above is a home on Nantucket (because everyone under the New England sun was there this past weekend for Figawi), designed by Jacobsen Architecture. The home, made up of 12 cottages, overlooks Nantucket Harbor and was featured in the magazine in June 2014. Another favorite home done by the architectural firm is this one in Rockport, Maine.
