Back from a well needed North-East holiday break. I had inadvertently stumbled upon what local papers are calling “The Great Cape Cod Cicada Comeback!” That's right cicadas have emerged.And the voices (is it their voices making the noise or legs I have no idea) you are hearing were living in the ground for 17 years. So this journey for the Cape Cod cicadas began around the time “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay was #1 and Ed Norton was Bruce Banner.

In today's episode, we chat with Claudette Zepeda, award-winning chef, culinary entrepreneur, and Creative Director of Chispa Hospitality, known for her fearless approach to regional Mexican cuisine and globally inspired storytelling.Claudette shares the creative vision behind her newest restaurant, Leu Leu. She reflects on growing up near the U.S.–Mexico border, how her travels have shaped her culinary identity, and the influence of fashion and music in her work. She also discusses her social impact initiative Viva La Vida, her journey as a single mom, and the deliberate choices that set her apart, including why she's resisted putting tacos on any menu.Join us as Claudette reflects on her path from home kitchens to international acclaim—and how she continues cooking without borders, labels, or limits.

Artesano Del Tobacco came into the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show with some newer offerings. The company works closely with AJ Fernandez Cigars to handle its production. While the recent fire affected many of AJ's clients, Artesano Del Tobacco was able to introduce its new products into the market. This year, the big news for Artesano Del Tobacco is the company's first Connecticut Shade offering, which falls under the Viva La Vida line. This follows up on a recent lancero line extension for El Pulpo. Both new offerings, the company says, are the direct result of consumer engagement. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-wtS

Is Coldplay's new direction a hit or a miss? This week on WorkTape, we delve into Coldplay's latest single “feelslikeimfallinginlove” and discuss their upcoming album Moon Music. We reflect on their evolution as a band, from their earlier works like Viva La Vida to their more current, Max Martin-influenced sound. Join us for an in-depth conversation on Coldplay's latest musical direction!Episode Highlights:Is Coldplay's new single “feelslikeimfallinginlove” a fresh take on their sound or just more of the same?What can we expect from Coldplay's upcoming Moon Music album, based on “feelslikeimfallinginlove” and their other recent releases?Is it bad taste when generations older than Gen Z stylize work titles in either all lowercase or all uppercase, or utilize conjoined title formatting (smashwords)?How have Coldplay evolved since Viva La Vida?Commercial success aside, would Jack Antonoff lend better to Coldplay's rock roots than Max Martin?Has Max Martin's influence on Coldplay's sound been a positive change, and has it brought out the best in Coldplay?

We all need people in our lives to show us the way, but often we want to figure it out ourselves without anyones help. In this message, we look into the vitality of mentorship in different aspects of our lives but most importantly in our walk with Christ. Viva La Vida Series : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTXdYYf0ezQ41v--c5SuViQc_rltaHGV_ https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

Most of us wants Jesus to save us, not all of us want Him to lead us. The heart of God is that we would be healthy and whole. The pathway to health is often found when we choose to lay down our way for His. https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

As followers of Jesus, our lives are an invitation for people to experience Him. This can be both good news or bad news. In this message we look at what it means to be a good witness to the world. https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

When we come across challenging passages of scripture, it's easy to want to run in the opposite direction. Yet beneath the surface there is always more than meets the eye. In this message we look through an often misunderstood passage about submission. https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

Most of us are geared towards conformity; we don't wants to be different. Yet, the call to follow Jesus, is a call to be different. In this message we examine what it means to be a missionary in a culture that often feels foreign. www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

But hold on to your limes, my friend, because this recipe is all about creating an easy fiesta in your mouth!   Think crispy tortilla chips swimming in a rich, green salsa verde, canoodling with tender chicken, and enveloped in a sour cream hug.    Plus, we'll share some smart ingredient substitutions and easy shortcuts to keep things budget-friendly and stress-free- which can turn this into an easy weeknight meal.   So, impress your amigos with show-stopping (and affordable!) Cinco de Mayo food!  Hit play, grab your favorite tequila (responsibly, of course!), and let's get to cookin' a legendary Cinco de Mayo celebration!  Let's keep the kitchen talk going! SOCIAL

The Christian journey is an invitation to renovation. The process of life change can often feel painful, but on the other side is great reward. Join us for part 4 of our series Viva La Vida, as we examine what it looks like to be a new creation in Christ.

The journey between where we came from, and where God is taking us, often seems like a wilderness. In this message we look at 3 responses to the Gospel that can help us win in the wilderness. https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

As humans, we are enticed by the idea of free. The truth is, anything in life of value will always come with a cost. Many of us have heard about the gift of salvation that is offered through Jesus, but it is only when we understand the cost, does everything begin to change. https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/connect.html https://www.kingdomchurch.ca/give.html

One of the most powerful tools in the Stoic arsenal for creating equanimity in our lives is understanding the difference between preferring something and being attached to it. In this episode we explore one of the great examples of this in history, namely Napoleon Bonaparte's temperament on his final exile to Saint Helena. (It will make you hear the song, "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay in a whole new light. Then we go through the way that our attachments can be put into their proper place, by talking about some of the people that have the strangest attachments (most of whom happen to have a TV show on TLC.) We go on  to talk about emotional minimalism, reserving our energy for attachments and preferences for things that are truly valuable and within our control. At the end we discuss the symbolism behind the Stoic holiday of Arelimus that has been celebrated by Stoics around the world since March 16th 2024. 

This week's Local Talent Guest was Kelsey Gull! She performed Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." What grade do you give her?!

This community is a big tent. We welcome folks from all backgrounds, and all levels of experience with computers. Heck, on our last episode, we celebrated an article written by someone who is, rounding down, a lawyer! A constant question I ponder is: what's the best way to introduce someone to the world of FoC? If someone is a workaday programmer, or a non-programmer, what can we share with them to help them understand our area of interest? A personal favourite is the New Media Reader, but it's long and dense. An obvious crowd-pleaser is Inventing on Principle. Bonnie Nardi's A Small Matter of Programming deserves a place on the list, especially if the reader is already an avid programmer who doesn't yet understand the point of end-user programming. They might ask, "Why should typical computer users bother learning to program?" Well, that's the wrong question! Instead, we should start broader. Why do we use computers? What do we use them to do? What happens when they don't do what we want? Who controls what they do? Will this ever change? What change do we want? Nardi challenges us to explore these questions, and gives the reader a gentle but definitive push in a positive direction. Next time, we're… considered harmful? #### $ We have launched a Patreon! => patreon.com/futureofcoding If, with the warmth in your heart and the wind in your wallet, you so choose to support this show then please know that we are tremendously grateful. Producing this show takes a minor mountain of effort, and while the countless throngs of adoring fair-weather fans will surely arrive eventually, the small kilo-cadre of diehard listeners we've accrued so far makes each new episode a true joy to share. Through thick and thin (mostly thin since the sponsorship landscape turned barren) we're going to keep doing our darnedest to make something thought-provoking with an independent spirit. If that tickles you pink, throw some wood in our fireplace! (Yes, Ivan is writing this, how can you tell?) Also, it doesn't hurt that the 2nd bonus episode — "Inherently Spatial" — is one of the best episodes of the show yet. It defrags so hard; you'll love it. #### Init Bug report: Frog Fractions. Oh the indignity! Hey, it's The Witness in our show notes again. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is the better game, even if it spawned Only Up and other copycats that miss the point. The Looker gets the point. Getting Over It is a triumph that emerged from a genre of games that are hard to play: Octodad, QWOP, I Am Bread Braid arguably spawned the genre of high-minded & heady puzzlers that all try to say something profound through their design. Cookie Clicker and Universal Paperclips are good incremental games. Jump King and Only Up are intentionally bad. Flappy Bird was accidentally good. Surgeon Simulator and Goat Simulator are purely for the laughs. Stanley Parable, like Getting Over It, brings in the voice of the creator to (say) invite rumination on the fourth wall, which is what make them transcendent. Here's the trailer for Bennett Foddy's new game, Baby Steps. So on the one hand we have all these "bad" and """bad""" and sometimes badgames, which actually end up doing quite well in advancing the culture. On the other hand we have The Witness, The Talos Principal, Swapper, Antichamber, QUBE, and all these high-minded puzzly games, which despite their best efforts to say something through their design… kinda don't. When comparing the "interactivity" of these games, it's tempting to talk about the mechanics (or dynamics), but that formal definition feels a little too precise. We mean something looser — something closer to the colloquial meaning when "Gamers" talk about "game mechanics". Silent Football might be an example of "sports as art". Mao is a card game where explaining the rules is forbidden. #### Main The Partially Examined Life is one of Jimmy's favourite philosophy podcasts. Two essays from Scientific American's 1991 Special Issue Communications, Computers and Networks are referenced in the first chapter, one by Larry Tesler and one by Alan Kay. The other essays in this issue are also quite interesting to reflect on from our position 30 years hence. Apple's Knowledge Navigator video, and HP's 1995 video, are speculative fiction marketing about conversational agents. Rewind.ai is one of those "Computer, when did I last degauss the tachyon masticator?" tools. (Oh, Lifestreams…) S-GPT is Federico Viticci's iOS/Mac Shortcut that strings together ChatGPT and various Shortcuts features, so that you can do some nifty automation stuff via a conversational interface. It feels like similar things could be built — heck, probably already have been built — with "If-Tuh-Tuh-Tuh" or Zapier. When Ivan reaches for domain-specific terminology, LUT, Arri Alexa, and Redcome easily because, like, he wishes he had occasion to use them. To hear the story about the Secret Service busting down young Jimmy's door, listen to his episode on the Code With Jason podcast. C Is Not a Low-level Language — a fantastic article about the illusion that our source code closely matches what actually happens during execution. What Follows from Empirical Software Research? Not much, according to Jimmy in this delightful article. Jimmy likes to reference Minecraft's "redstone" which acts a bit like a programming system, so here, have a video about redstone. Ivan saw this video via Mastodon, about someone making a "real" camera in Blender, and… just…
