  <description>&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&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;
 
Sorg is away - so Katie, Chilla, and Producer Missy are going to play!  This week, Katie takes control of the helm as we talk this week in tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla's Awesome Thing of the Week is from the Apple announcement with WWDC 19 with &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/03/macos-catalina-ipad-os-sidecar-compatible-apps/"&gt;Side Car&lt;/a&gt; to bring a second monitor experience to Mac OS.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is sharing &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/04/apples-new-health-feature-tracks-unsafe-headphone-volumes/"&gt;unsafe headphone volume&lt;/a&gt; through Apple Health as her Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Missy is sharing &lt;a href="https://www.cultofmac.com/627998/excel-for-iphone-update-turns-photos-into-editable-spreadsheets/?fbclid=IwAR2171IOoMm3AayPPUG6WjFY_QdfXdyCvxyyNYV9LzFd89Z56YN10Lm4i0E"&gt;Excel for iPhone&lt;/a&gt; as her Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Amanda shared &lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1458805068?fbclid=IwAR1zDAB79Ty6Mjv8ECiXl_S2k6KS6300kNgnBZCbNBD5TWHGLxB5-JBYgb8"&gt;Shhhhh&lt;/a&gt; with us this week to excrete on the discreet.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;WWE superstar R-Truth uses Apple Clips to create some &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ronkillings/status/1134191504874979328?s=21&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR2rMiHeDupAEMcox5Da_e_FTjbkdsEgRhScINJkKbfD9RomiaPxb-VF82c"&gt;fun video promos&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Kennywood is getting high tech with &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/KennywoodPark/videos/2071544106288578/"&gt;360 camera views&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/02/cuphead-will-be-playable-in-tesla-model-3-model-s-and-model-x-cars?sf103564640=1&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR3ec6-BTIQypmB_rgvVFYIxyq4COp9ekG3damtwI8BVTgQ81ttRdAql-D0"&gt;Cuphead&lt;/a&gt; is coming to Tesla.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Apple is planning to &lt;a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/06/03/apple-reportedly-planning-to-end-itunes?sf103602740=1&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR2zWwkhUb3zA-yIktd0SqlFd1GwMQYoVmx2zBGM1k2lSIMxsSU5dC0_cA8"&gt;end iTunes as we know it&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;NASA made their entire &lt;a href="https://www.diyphotography.net/nasa-makes-entire-media-library-publicly-accessible-copyright-free/?fbclid=IwAR0JtzpFDLDjrlyfik3gkFagl4yEaF_YamEoEDb1TYVc4ntoYxUCrPG4P0A"&gt;media library&lt;/a&gt; public and copyright free.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There is nothing as entertaining as &lt;a href="https://mymodernmet.com/wire-hon-forced-perspective-photography/?fbclid=IwAR2Pl867EjDBHXx_5lviFmIZOy9w8Pqaf-vCKCZuQwspjTkgxHoOEMuCyxg"&gt;forced perspective&lt;/a&gt; with tiny superhero toys.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;You can quickly &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/04/how-to-switch-wifi-control-center-ios-13/"&gt;switch Bluetooth and Wi-Fi&lt;/a&gt; in the new control center!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There's a &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18646424/apple-mac-pro-redesign-new-specs-features-photos-wwdc-2019"&gt;new Mac Pro&lt;/a&gt; coming to town, and we may be a little too excited about it.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;With Apple making their recent changes, &lt;a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/macos-catalina-apples-next-macos-will-open-up-to-ipad-apps-come-this-fall/"&gt;how many apps&lt;/a&gt; do you think will hit the Mac OS App Store later this year?&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is saving the best story for last this week - Pornhub has released a &lt;a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/curtissilver/2019/05/21/pornhub-top-20-cities/#606dbbb07bab"&gt;Top 20 list&lt;/a&gt; of cities checking them out.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Sorg, Katie, and Chilla brave the bitter cold this week to bring you this week's tech news, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing a &lt;a href="https://suprman9.wixsite.com/nerdvana/switch-tv-process"&gt;Nintendo Switch TV&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week this week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is sharing the &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/The501stLegion/videos/792364954457210/"&gt;Brazilian 501st Legion carnival float&lt;/a&gt; as her Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg is sharing the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwirKtOMafQ"&gt;Steel Cage Challenge&lt;/a&gt; video game as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla is sharing Excel's ability to take a printout from another screen into OCR to create an &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/1/18246429/microsoft-excel-covert-photos-data-tables-editable-table-ai-feature"&gt;editable table using AI&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Pittsburgh's mayor signs an executive order creating &lt;a href="https://www.nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/mayor-peduto-signs-executive-order-for-new-rules-for-self-driving-cars/?fbclid=IwAR35cT55K8k5x86c8K6xlvY0gbx4Jr3zv5Le0LKYERIoh01pdKVSYv1CvvA"&gt;new rules for self-driving cars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;AlphaLab Gear's &lt;a href="https://www.nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/who-won-alphalab-gears-pittsburgh-regional-hardware-cup-details-here/?fbclid=IwAR2IXGmLYaPkm1lS4O9LXK0G3vghLiPuU2M7x4-xzNebG4y-weldiqk2gdU"&gt;Hardware Cup winner&lt;/a&gt; has been announced!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Speaking of cool things coming out of Pittsburgh, we're talking about Creation Labs and their 3D Printing space at South Hills Village.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://nerdist.com/article/weezer-fortnite-island-black-album/?utm_campaign=coschedule&amp;amp;utm_source=facebook_page&amp;amp;utm_medium=Nerdist&amp;amp;utm_content=Weezer%20Created%20a%20Fortnite%20Island%20to%20Promote%20Its%20New%20Album&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR2DFG1n6iidEu-C-N-7GuCUyrEQzeYZX8rHmmH8tcXZQvmsmSEUf42_46M"&gt;Weezer created a Fortnite island&lt;/a&gt; to promote its new album.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;There is an awesome &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/broomcupboardclub/videos/1946361428819483/"&gt;Transformers cosplay cover of Immigrant Song&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're talking about Spectre, a great app with a slow shutter and neural engine that helps with &lt;a href="http://www.tinyshutter.com/episode-289-spectre-first-t%E2%80%A6/2858"&gt;long exposure photography&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://replayfx.org/"&gt;Replay FX is coming back!&lt;/a&gt; 2019 dates announced.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;ScareHouse is venturing into the &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/RogueLaserGrounds/photos/a.359986874722785/359986791389460/?type=3&amp;amp;theater"&gt;laser tag realm&lt;/a&gt; with Rogue Laser Grounds.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/04/the-lonely-death-of-jibo-the-social-robot/"&gt;Jibo the social robot died?!?!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Apex Legends already has &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/04/apex-legends-50-million-players/?fbclid=IwAR3Ohroq00GGjm79h-VsGsMcXh4z7Ao3imFuwqJUHs9Y00VSYfJ-3XTts70"&gt;50 million players&lt;/a&gt; after one month.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/04/usb4-thunderbolt-3-40gbps/?fbclid=IwAR0X6wGmXJsC1DdNIOI_yyjwsb_j5ZdiCN8ti-z5Z-06gQBqpAcECieinEo"&gt;Thunderbolt devices&lt;/a&gt; are getting cheaper.&lt;/li&gt;
