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 also 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!

Letter of the week:
On this weeks podcast, I listened to your questions regarding the special power strip requirements for cruise ships.
For many years I worked on a government contract that had us installing electronic equipment on military ships. The APC UPS equipment that we installed, had to modified to meet the special power requirements of ships. These modifications included an additional power switch that disconnects the voltage and neutral wires when the power switch is turned off. Normal power switches only disconnect the voltage wire. This change is required because ships do not offer a true earth ground so the neutral takes a more important role.
The surge protectors built into normal power strips might have issues with the lack of a proper ground.
Thanks, Eric Paul
