  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/PrfBzzkll"&gt;Professor Buzzkill&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.alexanderkahrs.com/"&gt;Alex Kahrs Design &amp;amp; Media!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;
Katie, Chilla, and Sorg are back in studio to run down the tech news you should know about, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is sharing the &lt;a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/audible/the-butterfly-effect-with-jon-ronson"&gt;Butterfly Effect podcast&lt;/a&gt; as her Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Want to listen to your porn industry podcast episodes? Chilla recommends the &lt;a href="https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/pages/rig-500-pro-series"&gt;Plantronics Rig 500&lt;/a&gt; headset!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg had a chance to play some &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/11/apex-legends-25-million-players/"&gt;Apex Legends&lt;/a&gt; after last week's episode. He's sharing his thoughts.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;LinkedIn debuts &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/11/linkedin-debuts-linkedin-live-a-new-live-video-broadcast-service/?fbclid=IwAR2E8o0l2-AQkTCojPORPYW86IC1X26rNYun42GEfRlm_lcOGQmRrL93RkM"&gt;LinkedIn Live&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Do you know who's on LinkedIn? We're talking about some audience observations we've seen.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The International Space Station uses a &lt;a href="http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/02/the-international-space-stations-new-3-d-printer-recycles-old-plastic-into-custom-tools?fbclid=IwAR29HNySOP24jNBwCRTuqfgxTlMYyIKhD0eBOkECrZ2ub_zr0yQO6Sn1bIM"&gt;3D printer&lt;/a&gt; to recycle old plastics into custom tools.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.polygon.com/deals/2019/2/12/18222183/playstation-classic-sale-deal-walmart?fbclid=IwAR2Ktskjg0gNoguw7nM9mKPejFukZXKZw--H_6mI1_GcqdhnnvD9-B6SmDs"&gt;PlayStation Classic&lt;/a&gt; has dropped in price, again.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Remember those all-in-one video units with a built-in DVD player? Katie is totally getting the hook-up to get one.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Amazon has launched a new &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/8/18217451/amazon-live-brick-and-mortar-stores-home-shopping-channel?fbclid=IwAR1AdNoNNV90oxOVGBsrVDbmO8I_aIt7BJSFrE0zEbrJpXinVAHEW7_BljE"&gt;home shopping channel&lt;/a&gt; live-streamed through an app.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Is the Amazon home shopping channel feature a hybrid of QVC and Shark Tank?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Speaking of Amazon, they &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/11/amazon-buys-eero/"&gt;bought Eero&lt;/a&gt;.  Do you trust them with your WiFi?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesecretnerdbase/photos/a.229611263850237/1592923537518996/?type=3&amp;amp;theater&amp;amp;ifg=1"&gt;digital billboard in Odessa&lt;/a&gt; went down because of fog - leaving a giant error code in the sky!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Is Instagram bringing us &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/12/instagram-direct-desktop/"&gt;desktop messaging&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
After the show remember to:
