Back to Dick's Gadget Warehouse with this week's Viewer Video - And how to submit yours.
November 12, 2014 Post a Comment 
Vince, known as Regatta in the chatroom, was Chatroom Celebrity of the Week recently on the unofficial TWiT show, Giz Fiz. (Giz Fiz is on Saturdays, right after Leo’s Tech Guy Radio Show on TWiT.) While talking to Vince on Giz Fiz I could see there were some very interesting gadgets in the background. I asked Vince to video a couple of them and send them in as Viewer Video of the Week. And he did! Meet Robot B9 from Lost in Space and the way, way old, Remco Crystal Radio. By the way, Vince did some very fancy titles and music. They’re great fun, but don’t worry. We accept videos with no titles and no music! Just you and your gadget.
Here’s the link:

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:
From: Douglas Ferguson
Subject: CERN plays "What the heck is it?"
Dick, Thought you might get a kick out of this. Apparently the people at CERN found some old stuff and they don't know what it is, so they are playing a version of "What the heck is it?"
