Hi Dick and Chad:

Here’s a link to a video I made about the new Wyze Watch 47.  The quality of the video should be well up to your usual expectations.  One thing I failed to mention is that it’s IP68 “weatherproof” and I’ve showered wearing it every day. Enjoy!

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

Letter of the week:

SteveC writes: Hi Dicky De,

I thought this was a goofy April Fool’s joke, a connected coffee mug that uses an app and needed a firmware update but it seems to be a real product! Pretty expensive though, they cost over $100 on Amazon! I wonder why someone couldn’t just use an $8 mug warmer instead? Not techy enough for some folks I guess since the connected mug uses “mug warming technology”!

That name sounded familiar, so I did a web search and found this gadget that we covered about 5 years back. Perhaps it’s a bit more useful that the coffee cup because it lets you take coffee most anyway, keeping it a temperature you like.
