Meet The Gap Hoodio
I found a brand new one, from 2004, at Dick’s Gadget Warehouse. Some 21 years ago The Gap introduces clothing with a built-in music system. Called The Hoodio, it was powered by Wild Planet technology. It came with a built in FM radio, had controls on the sleeve and speakers in the hood… I didn’t realize kids were still listening to the radio back then. A big innovation here is in the way the radio and speakers snap to the jacket. The snaps are conductive so just clipping them into place enables them to work. It was priced at $68.00.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!

2. Videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long in Horizontal Format! Low production value is fine, but we need to hear you and see your gadget clearly! You can be in the video if you like.
3. Post your Video on YouTube and click ‘unlisted’ when you upload it if you want, but not “Private” or we won’t be able to see it. Send us the URL link from YouTube.
4. If we show your video (and we show 99% of them) and live in the US or Canada you’ll get an autographed current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of the US & Canada, I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res image. 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!

On Saturday, the biggest race in Canada is run. The King’s Plate. Now owners of horses have fun with the names of their horses.
Now, none of these horses are in the big race, but they do have great names.
Splashy Gizmo is the offspring of Giant Gizmo and Splash of Gold.
Shotgun Wedding is the offspring of the stallion Mendelssohn and the mare Reluctant Bride
And there is :Amis Gizmo and Don’t Miss Crissy’ s whose offspring is Aim Don’t Miss
