I magine a world where you could show up to work when you wanted, wear whatever you wanted and answer only to your boss, who just so happens to be yourself. For many, this idea is but a dream, but for the the cast of “Silicon Valley,” it’s very much a reality. If you’re looking to take a peek inside the world of the new-age workforce and booming technology empire, then you won’t want to miss a new episode of “Silicon Valley,” airing Sunday, April 26, on HBO.
The show arguably paints the most accurate picture of the real world’s Silicon Valley, a technology Mecca located in northern California that is home to thousands of startups and established empires, where you can be your own boss. It is in this high-tech region where your own success is attributed to the amount of work that you alone put in, and it’s reflected in many of the companies who make this valley their home. The likes of Facebook, Google and Apple are headquartered in Silicon Valley, where they all began establishing their businesses after the dot-com boom of the late ‘90s.
The “Silicon Valley” series focuses on the daily ins and outs of the modern-day gold rush through software and application development. The show revolves around a group of young engineers and coders who founded their own startup tech company, Pied Piper. As with all new companies, Pied Piper faces routine problems — funding, branding, polishing its product to ensure its success and, of course, dealing with others trying to steal its idea.
A lot of the material for the show comes from very real experience. Executive producer and cocreator Mike Judge, known for his cult classic “Office Space” (1999), knows what it’s like to be knee deep in the trials of a burgeoning company. Judge, who began his career in Silicon Valley with a nowdefunct video card company, joked at the season 2 premiere of the show earlier this month that
things have come full circle in his career.
“A long time ago, I was actually an engineer in Silicon Valley,” he said. “I was an engineer dreaming of becoming a comedy filmmaker in Hollywood, and now, here I am doing a show called ‘Silicon Valley.’ As we do this show, I keep thinking I really should be dreaming of going back to Silicon Valley and coming up with a stupid app and becoming a billionaire and maybe buying a network or something. But, I remind myself that making fun of them is a lot funner.”
It’s that mentality alone that makes “Silicon Valley” so great. With a show that revolves around technology and long-winded algorithms, being accurate while also humorous is a task in and of itself. Judge met with engineers, founders of reputable companies and investors alike in order to gain an even better understanding of the industry. Amongst them was Marc Andreessen, co-author of Mosaic, the first commonly used web browser. Upon meeting Andreessen, Judge told “Yahoo! Finance” that the founder of Netscape told him “for the next hour I’m going to be a writer on your show” and proceeded to unleash an on-
slaught of ideas for the upcoming season.
So we know that the show bases itself in the authentic behind the scenes, but what about what we see on our screens? Picking up from where they left off with last season’s tech-celeb appearances — Google’s chairman Eric Schmidt and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington being two of them — season 2 is set to have its fair share of current tech-giants stop by.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, most famously known as the twin brother duo who sued Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (they were awarded a $65 million settlement as a result), play themselves in season 2. Evan Spiegel, CEO of photo messaging mobile application Snapchat (also famous for rejecting a $3 billion buyout from Facebook in 2013), also makes an appearance as himself.
Fear not, fans, as the regular cast will be back in full force as well in season 2. Thomas Middleditch (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” 2013) returns as Richard, the jittery leader of his close friends and coworkers who include Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani, “Portlandia”), Gilfoyle (Martin Starr, “Freaks and Geeks”), Jared (Zach
Woods, “The Office”) and their dysfunctional landlord Erlich (T.J. Miller, “How to Train Your Dragon,” 2010). Amanda Crew (“Whistler”) returns as Monica, who struggles to keep Pied Piper afloat as rival tech company Hooli and its CEO, Gavin (Matt Ross, “American Horror Story”), continues to breathe down their necks.
Gone are the days of employees being viewed as another brick in the wall, attached to their desks for eight hours a day, Monday to Friday. Viewed as the modern-day gold rush, the technology startup sector of northern California’s Silicon Valley is a prime location for those looking to make their mark (and a little money!) in technology advancement. For a witty look into the roller-coaster ride of an engineer’s life from someone who’s been there, be sure to check out a new episode of “Silicon Valley” airing Sunday, April 26, on HBO.

Hands up. Who watched Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship” this past holiday season?
The Bobby Deen-hosted baking competition was great fun and, apparently, enough of a hit that the network has decided to bring it back. This time, though, it’ll be less “ho-ho-ho” and more “goodbye snow!”
“Spring Baking Championship” flowers onto TV screens Sunday, April 26, on Food Network, with eight of the nation’s best bakers coming together for the ultimate bake-off.
Once again hosted by Bobby Deen, there’ll also be three judges on hand to evaluate the sumptuous sweets that the contestants pull out of their ovens: Duff Goldman (“Duff Till Dawn”), Nancy Fuller (“Farmhouse Rules”) and Lorraine Pascale (“Lorraine’s Fast, Fresh and Easy Food”).
Since spring is in the air, the challenges put before the eight contestants have themes ranging from Memorial Day picnics to Mother’s Day brunches.
What else? How about carefully crafting some sweets using honey as the main ingredient or baking
up some flower-inspired cupcakes?
The six-episode series will whittle the contestants down one by one with a series of spring-themed challenges, with the judges sending someone packing each episode. For us sitting at home, this may all be in good fun, but for the competitors, it’s much more serious: after all, there’s a big, fat $50,000 check waiting beyond the finish line.
Just getting to the finale, though, will be the easy part for the bakers.
After having bested their peers with cupcakes and pies, trifles and limes, the three contestants remaining in the finale will face the ultimate challenge, the one thing that gives bakers nightmares: the dreaded wedding cake.
In the end, only one of these bakers will be named the Spring Baking Champion and take home the $50,000 prize. Finding out who that winner is, though, will have to wait: Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship” is just getting started on Sunday, April 26.
