Subject: Gadget I naught to share with Dick
This is the Eton FR 360 Red Cross radio.
One thing I left out is it also has a led flash light.

Giz Wiz Note: The Eton FR 360 Radio cost $50.50 on Amazon in black as of 10/16/14. The Red model (Red Cross version) is more, but I do believe they have the exact same features. If you go to the Amazon link below you’ll see there’s a newer model the FRX3, which is listed below the FR 360. It’s about $7 more and adds a ‘find in the dark’ feature. I called Eton to find out if there were any other differences, but so far I haven’t heard back. But it turns out the Eton FR 360 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and may soon be a warehouse gadget.

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so let’s go going!
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 of All Time: 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 our producer, Jeff Needles, 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 will now be awarded with some sort of prize. Like an autographed MAD magazine and some piece of crap. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!
All show submissions go to gizwiz@twit.tv

Letter of the week:

Hey Chad!
My name is Matthew, I'm 13 years old and I live in Australia. I'm sending this email to let you know that I'm your new travel, airline and airplane expert.
Just kidding! Anyway, on your most recent episode of the Giz Wiz you mentioned Singapore Airlines' A380 Suites. Well, if you want to take the next step up go no further than Emirates A380 Suites! Enjoy a snooze in your 6 foot bed or socialise with fellow passengers in the bar. Enjoy a complimentary 5 minute shower at 41,000 feet (strictly timed). As you can see this is all very extravagant but if you want to take the next step up, before private jet, you can set your eyes upon The Etihad Residence. The only 3 bedroom suite. You get 3 rooms! A living room upholstered in leather from a Ferrari of course. Then slips to a fluffy robe and enjoy a shower in the bathroom, your own bathroom (unless you travelling with a companion of course)! Then when it's time to go to sleep, step into the bedroom with a custom mattress and duvet made especially for the A380. All for the bargain price ranging from $25000 - $43000 per person per way.
I hope you mention this on a Giz Wiz episode even though it's not a gadget i still think it's pretty cool. Thanks for the awesome show, I hope I get to see it live in person one day (I live in Australia) so you know, there a huge ocean in the way.)
All the best, Matthew Douglass, 13, Australia
P.S. I'm in no way affiliated with either airline I just love airplanes and airlines and everything aviation.
From the Giz Wiz: I found this link at the Etihad airline website:
