  <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;
 
We've got Kim Lyons, John Chichilla, Katie Dudas, and Mike Sorg chatting about this week's tech headlines, including:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is sharing one of &lt;a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spacie-clean-line-breaks/id1500844590"&gt;her secret apps&lt;/a&gt; with us as her Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla's Awesome Thing of the Week is &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2020/05/09/meeter/"&gt;Meeter&lt;/a&gt;, a Mac based app for meeting apps like Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Kim's Awesome Thiclip-ang of the Week is &lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/7/21249319/pittsburgh-airport-uv-robots-coronavirus-cleaning-disinfecting"&gt;Pittsburgh airport adding UVC lights to cleaning robot to help kill coronavirus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Adding to the robot stories, Sorg is sharing a &lt;a href="https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/roaming-robodog-tells-singapore-park-goers-to-keep-their-distance-20200509-p54rcs.html?fbclid=IwAR2s8vO2R_nbmNWERsPN2foHXxQrrk5EwcPdnGSEfJq4wCSGUhP-khOwfIA"&gt;robodog in Singapore&lt;/a&gt; that reminds park goers to keep their distance.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/arcade/products/playtable-digital-board-game-console/11102242.html?fbclid=IwAR1ciQJqZDfMYL_XGi1vHeZQiPHPo8t4WFT9LrndJCBxJ8oQ1PE_8TxlHo0"&gt;Play Table is a new way to play board games&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Katie is confusing the &lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/12/slice-series-c/"&gt;Slice pizza&lt;/a&gt; app and Slice on Broadway, but she's telling us how the app is helping pizza joints.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Kids are &lt;a href="https://gizmodo.com/calculator-hacked-for-cheating-includes-a-secret-oled-s-1843314318"&gt;hacking calculators&lt;/a&gt; with all their down time.&lt;/li&gt;
