Submit Your Gadget Warehouse Video & Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!
1. Video can be ANYTHING about a gadget: I bought a piece of crap. I bought a gadget I love. I have an old gadget I can’t part with because it was ‘high tech’ years ago! Even a ‘What The Heck Is It? Gadget.
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!

Email of the week:
Everything you ever needed to know about why the Foldimate or robots can’t fold clothes (yet?).
Hey Dickie D and Chad — Since the subject of the Foldimate and robotic folding of clothes is often mentioned on the GizWiz, I found this scientific paper regarding “robotic clothes folding”.
Since the GizWiz is dedicated to intellectual pursuits and scholarly scientific research, I knew you would be interested in it. Here’s a link to the paper entitled: “A Review of Robotic Cloth Manipulation”. If you have an incredibly long attention span and a pot or two of coffee, you can read all (and I do mean ALL) about it.
It has: • 12 authors • 8 sections, each divided into multiple sub-sections • 3 charts • 2 tables • and 148 citations
It’s a page-turner! I made it almost halfway through the introduction. Once you read the entire paper (and I KNOW you will) maybe you can tell me what it says!
Thank you! (love the show)
