This week’s email is from Michael Prine and it has one of our favorite subject lines:
“What the heck is it submission”

I won’t tell you what it is here so you will have to watch the video like the rest. When I say I am going to pause the video you need to pause the playback so folks have a chance to guess. As after a brief pause, I continue to explain what it is.
I still need to send in a video of my TI-55 calculator. Maybe next month.

From the Giz Wiz: Chad & I were totally baffled as to what it was. However I found this gadgets on Amazon, but it’s no longer available there: https://amzn.to/3rslFW0
See or hear this show: www.gizwiz.tv/episode/1860

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.

Email of the week!
I saw this device at CES several years ago and thought we’d never see it again. Well, I was wrong. Here’s info on the device that lets you create your own fragrances.
Here’s the email I received from the company founder:
The big news is that we are LIVE on Kickstarter now. We were founded in less than 2hrs and was chosen as “Project We Love” 🥰
I am sending you our latest Press release, and here is our Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/markomatijevic/ninu-smart-perfume/pledge/new?clicked_reward=false.
