  <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;
Katie, Krause, Chilla, and Sorg continue to practice social distancing with some tech upgrades hitting this week's episode as they're talking about:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is checking in with her Awesome Thing of the Week - - her &lt;a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-20-in-40-Volt-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Battery-Walk-Behind-Push-Lawn-Mower-6-0-Ah-Battery-Charger-Included-RY401110-Y/311084745"&gt;new Ryobi lawnmower&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Aaaaand, we have a bonus Animal Crossing New Horizons update from Katie as she's showing off her Godzilla on screen behind her!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Krause is sharing &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe_y6KKvS3PdIfb9q9pGug"&gt;Some Good News&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla has been making some updates to his home office to accommodate working from home.  He's sharing his &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HBQSCM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;psc=1"&gt;new gamechanger device&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is &lt;a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass"&gt;Xbox Game Pass&lt;/a&gt;, which he's been checking out a little bit with some of his free time.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're checking out some &lt;a href="https://www.apple.com/today/feature/today-at-home/?fbclid=IwAR1Rilb2hs-2ePJM6SnCVf6JZc_wW4pT_zUHSkLDKIiLFwUa1DIo4GqPqbE"&gt;Today at Apple&lt;/a&gt; options to learn things while in quarantine.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're talking some &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/F7E71A07-C9EB-4793-8632-B33542360EDB?ingress=3&amp;amp;visitId=c5892b77-ca5d-4612-92d2-45cec4538653%5C"&gt;Xbox All Access options&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Finding yourself on &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/sheetz/photos/a.10163183597825501/10163183598025501/?type=3&amp;amp;ifg=1&amp;amp;__tn__=HH-R&amp;amp;eid=ARDTYsHzf_Fk4-akaM3STADcWeYM0HtbYEg2rmDZ4Wn8yX21trhkg6bwlCyJuEcUpScqJxZM2Q6sRkbT"&gt;Zoom calls&lt;/a&gt; these days? Check out some backgrounds, like those from our friends at Sheetz!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/14/21219882/minecraft-rtx-ray-tracing-beta-nvidia-windows-release-date"&gt;Minecraft ray tracing&lt;/a&gt; is a thing. But, does it make it better or ruin it?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/14/google-is-lowering-nest-camera-quality-to-conserve-internet-resources/"&gt;Google Nest&lt;/a&gt; is lowering camera quality to conserve internet resources.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Smart devices help us out in so many ways. We're talking about how a &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/9/21215425/smart-toilet-disease-detection-analprint"&gt;smart toilet&lt;/a&gt; can help detect diseases.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Since we're stuck at home, Sorg is checking out &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/7/21210040/movies-anywheres-screen-pass-lending-feature-open-beta-sign-ups-today?fbclid=IwAR17iEEUaLi3c-6XVOrdM60Of7msIm09A1-BUW2e8NeMKo1Eppeh1XYpGJA"&gt;Movies Anywhere&lt;/a&gt; as an option to share movies with friends.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Sorg has been spending a little &lt;a href="https://store.toasterpets.com/?utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_campaign=schools&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR0xheF8jV8m5pGZJYvFXZjy3WTM3enPtQnpMjXm_IiOU0sxqSYWqeBr7HM"&gt;too much time with Instagram ads&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
