    Dick's Gadget Warehouse!

    This week’s warehouse gadget is another “Viewer Video of the Week!” 

    Learn how to submit your own video at the bottom of this column.

    And now -- My own Gadget Warehouse gadget via Lance Seidman. He posted his YouTube video about something he's held on to for many, many years -- his Walkman with FM radio attachment! What will they think of next? Well, back in the 1970's this little add-on gadget was quite amazing. I had one too. I bet I still have one, lost in the bowels Dick's ----- gadget ----- warehouse!

    What to be a part of The Giz Wiz show with your own video? Of course you do! Here's what we're looking for:

    Your home made Videos -- two to three minutes long - in the 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! Do 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. 

    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. 

    Post them on YouTube and send our producer, Jason, 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. Even welcomed; so our stuff doesn't look too bad by comparison. We've set the bar low. Don't trip over it.

    All show submissions go to gizwiz@twit.tv
