&lt;p&gt;Doug Derda joins Katie, Sorg, and Chilla as we're all social distancing from our respective studios to talk this week in tech news, including:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing something bright as his Awesome Thing of the Week - &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9mATzp1HeA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Five Times August&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Doug is bringing us virtual &lt;a href="https://www.snapology.com/programs/online-classes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;playdates with Snapology&lt;/a&gt; via Zoom as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is bringing us up to date on the &lt;a href="https://indianewengland.com/2020/04/covid-19-brought-the-best-and-worst-out-of-tiktok/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;changes to TikTok&lt;/a&gt; in response to COVID-19 situations.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is sharing &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/6/21208932/quibi-app-review-price-short-form-video-content-features-streaming-rotation?fbclid=IwAR0W9fOai65zCRzfQmegspnUBoHVOopmNwWsuyqNl40FsDIFArfxJOKoKWY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Quibi&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
