  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by  &lt;a href="http://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;
Amanda Narcisi returns to the show to join Katie Dudas and Mike Sorg as we take a look at this week's tech news topics, including:
 
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're starting the top of the show off with some updates from Dudders  and her Animal Crossing New Horizons upgrades.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Amanda is taking the opportunity to learn about Wine And Spirits with &lt;a href="https://barsmarts.com/"&gt;Bar Smarts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;As a secondary cool thing Amanda has been working on during #Quarantine, she's checking out Apple's Swift.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie's Awesome Thing of the Week is &lt;a href="https://loveyourmelon.com"&gt;Love Your Melon&lt;/a&gt; and the sweet hats she got.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is sharing This Week in Tech's evening attire episode as his Awesome Thing of the Week. In lieu of listening, &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoWOaEdCJ7I&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0LpTano9zO-kkqR4YaNTU4EaaT6mq2jdjEvyCnjZAhCq1r2TiXsycV1o0"&gt;he pulled up the video to see what everyone was wearing!&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Looking for something to do with your Kids online during Quarantine? &lt;a href="https://www.frogpants.com/artclass?fbclid=IwAR3wY4-sN-GmK8TbB9fj-eKJu94n2mGE81wS3iMvsP80s4EBtU3uf7IqJEo"&gt;Frogpants Studio has kids drawing classes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Have you checked out the iPhoneSE? We're sharing some thoughts and taking a look at &lt;a href="https://blog.halide.cam/iphone-se-the-one-eyed-king-96713d65a3b1"&gt;Halide's tear down and photography deep dive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;What has everyone been doing during Quarantine? Apparently starting a Podcast a&lt;a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-one-million-podcasts-milestone.amp?__twitter_impression=true&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR2QqRK0fOwEMTnCC6ZaH0mpnWbTebL4IU-Mjjjj9uI1PDUf0AaNCMYfdtk"&gt;s there are now more than a million podcasts out there.&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're getting an Animal Crossing New Horizons update from Dudders . Did you know you could interact with your wallpaper?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Really liked the Dunk Hunt zapper? &lt;a href="https://mashable.com/2016/04/09/glock-nintendo-copy/?fbclid=IwAR3ahqOHPPzS10L8ytjBKPXQmBRY0PBmDicpmqSGGQejBiJHKeEp8sLiN0s"&gt;There's a guy out there who modified a Glock just for the occasion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Work From Home has been harder for some more than others. We're talking about &lt;a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/gma-reporter-no-pants-will-reeve-work-home"&gt;Reporter No Pants who happens to be Christopher Reeve's son&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/boston-dynamics-spot-robot-covid-19-telehealth-153715113.html?fbclid=IwAR25Z5EuglDzj869OLqF2hni7R7VM-4hyTyndzhauf3lVKk-di4svBxfyw4"&gt;Boston Dynamics is helping COVID-19 patients with their Robot Dog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;What if your mask &lt;a href="https://nerdist.com/article/homemade-alien-facehugger-mask/?fbclid=IwAR2uAp4INRF2r6Ob71eoSLczY1Jgv20ZykzTThDWbIGbOpwu87_kBiscFdI"&gt;looked like a Facehugger from Alien&lt;/a&gt;?Fortnite is becoming a great concert option as &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/fortnite-travis-scott-astronomical-051908825.html"&gt;Travis Scott's event drew 12.3 million concurrent viewers&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
