Our email this week is from Barry Powell who writes:
Hey Guys! Here’s a bit of an almost “what the heck is it” video for you.
Have been trying to put together and send for couple years now (if not longer!), and it’s still not very good but you’re getting it now “as is” as too much time til who knows if ever might manage to make it happen down the line. So, here you go!
Not knowing what they’re called, and with no identifying marks anywhere, I’ve been unable to find any info or mention of anything even remotely similar to them having searched high and low online, but I do remember seeing them when they were first released way back when. As mentioned in the video, maybe on iPad Today or some other show of similar ilk from back then or perhaps one of Chad’s old presentations somewhere.
I scored them a few years ago when I purchased a used Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and the seller had them and kindly included them in the sale for me. I knew what they were right away and was very pleased to have them. They get used constantly and are a wonderful design and implementation (I think at least!).
Keep up the great work you two. Always greatly appreciated.

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
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:
Mo emails us that he get The Forever Sponge.
It’s on Kickstarter here:
The Giz Wiz: Strangely I don’t think I would want a forever sponge because I think at some point it has to start getting yucky, but that’s just my feeling.
