We get Mike’s Spinn Coffee update and talk a bit about Amazon Prime 1 day delivery and overall Amazon lifetime spend.

This week we have some exciting news. A friend of the show Jernej from Gentle Giant illustrations has kindly created the show some new cover artwork. The artwork depicts Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market sign with the Coffee & Code Cast written across it. Of course, also included is Seattle’s beautiful skyline, and no Seattle anything is ever complete without the Space Needle.

In episode 23 we discussed a bar game called Erotic Photo Hunt. The game is a racy version of a spot the differences type game where you tap on the differences between the images. We discussed that the game isn’t found very often anymore or that it’s being discontinued according to Eater.com

A co-worker relayed a picture that they found a working copy of the game in a bar in Seattle’s Fremont/Ballard neighborhood.

This week was Mobile World Congress and Microsoft’s Holo Lens 2 was shown in many demos. Some demos showed a VR world that “follows” you or stays in your line of sight and some showed you walking around a stationary type virtual object.

No Coffee & Code Cast is complete without Tesla news. This week the show discusses two new modes Tesla has unveiled via software update. Dog Mode is a new option a driver can enable as they leave the car to maintain the temperature in extreme heat or cold conditions. The display also notes for any passerby that the car is maintaining the temperature and exactly what the interior temp of the car is at that moment.

The second mode is Sentry mode which effectively gives you a form of video surveillance of your car while you are away. The video is recorded to your thumb drive and unavailable via the Tesla app. However, if your card is nudged or hit the car will fire your phone notification and record from all cameras the car offers.
