Back to Dick's Gadget Warehouse with another viewer's video. (Read how to submit your video below!)

Giz Wiz fan Mariane Jorgenson send us this great email about the best gadget she ever got!:

 

The best gadget I ever got was a Ronco battery tester. 30-35 years ago, my husband went to the drugstore on Christmas Eve and bought me this for a gift, which he gave me wrapped in the drugstore paper bag. Well, it had been very useful for many decades testing batteries. But I am no longer married to that husband.

 (The crashing noise halfway through is my cat expressing his anger that I am talking to someone that is not the cat.)

Letter of the week:

Here’s the email from Greg Franz about cool gadgets:

A site that I visit now and then Fishki (the english version) - has pictures (no text) of items called Cool gadgets.

Want to be a part of The Giz Wiz Show? Then submit your own video! 

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. 

And a new category: My favorite gadget of all time! Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved 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
