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.
(Another) Coast with the Most
Just returned from the most enjoyable weekend in Oregon. We adventured down the coast to find a gray but grand coastline, reminiscent of New England but standing on its own west coast grandeur. The Oregon Pinot Noir was a constant fixture throughout the weekend, as were the locals adorned in their hipster ensembles. Above are photographs from Cannon Beach and Indian Beach, about 1.25 hr south of Portland. Looking forward to sharing more this week!
