This week Spencer really wants an XBox and keeps getting denied, if anyone has a hookup - let him know.  Jon gets sucked into the mechanical keyboard community.

Then we focus in React Native and talk about how it all works with transpiling and polyfills,. The best part is that you don't need to understand all of this to use it and make great Apps.
