New Lenovo Glasses T1 Wearable Display for Everything from Gaming, Streaming, and Movies on the Go. These will be great watching movies in flight! At Pepcom Lenovo announced the new Lenovo Glasses T1 wearable private display. Here’s a bit about them from the company: Compatible with many of today’s modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops with full-function USB-C, the Lenovo Glasses T1 offers superb image quality, high-efficiency optics for extended battery life, and is lightweight so users can enjoy content beyond the limited screen size of mobile devices. With mobile devices growing in computing power, mobile gamers, road warriors and just about everyone else will benefit from the power of carrying a personal monitor in their pocket. These glasses are not just about fun and games. Using the Lenovo Glasses T1, workers have a private workspace to prevent shoulder surfing. To maximize comfort for extended use, the Lenovo Glasses T1 is equipped with swappable nose clips, adjustable temple arms and supports custom prescription lenses via an in-box attachable frame. They will be released in China soon, and it will be early 2023 when they are released here in the US. Price not set yet, but I heard unofficial talk that it would be under $500.

His 3^rd Cheap Halloween gadget is the Justotry Pumpkin Carving Kit.

From Amazon: Safe for Kids – NO knives needed! Easy To Use – No paint needed! No need for pumpkin carving stencils and painting! Just use JUSTOTRY’s mold to knock out the scary pumpkin face you want on the pumpkin! You will receive 16 pieces pre-designed pumpkin molds and a wooden hammer. You can DIY different expressions with your family and children! Easy to Clean and Safe for Dishwasher. Every pumpkin carving tool is made of food-grade stainless steel material which is strong, durable, and will not be easily damaged! MSRP: $19.99

And Chad’s take: Chad liked this kit a lot. As you see on this week’s show, he was able to “carve” a face into his pumpkin (that he used on last week’s show with the ‘Pumpkin Gutter’) fairly quickly. The kit includes pre-designed eye, nose & mouth molds and hammer to create the face you want rather quickly. Chad said the kit is a real time saver and easy to use. He bought the medium kit for about $20.00.

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
