Hi Dick and Chad!
Here’s a video for the Warehouse of my favorite gadget at the moment, a quasi-retro device that I’ve been using for 3 years now (I said 2 years in the video but I’ve been saying that about it for over a year now):

The video description has more details I didn’t mention in the video, along with relevant URLs.
Best regards, Jeff

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you. All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Email of the week is from a frequent contributor, Jeffrey Slomovitz. It’s starts: “Good evening gentlemen” — but we’re sure he means Chad and me! It continues:As a fan of the show, I have often heard that you and Chad sometimes talk about developing a “new idea” on a start-up website. I came across this site that definitely gave me a laugh. It is basically every start-up investor’s worst nightmare. It is a website where you can purchase and collect mock startup gadgets toys that have failed and even gives the reader the full back story. Here is the website – Enjoy!
Warm Regards, Jeffrey Slomovitz
