Dick's Gadget Warehouse. And how to submit your video to the show.

A viewer’s video always comes with an email, like this one:

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show. 

Here’s what we’re looking: Your home shoot 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 something you just bought too.  

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, 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: (Fits in perfectly as Chad winds up his 'Stretchy Month of April Theme.")

Here's a real odd ball stretchy item.

Museum Putty!   Looks just like silly putty but it's used in

1) Earthquake country to stick breakable things down to they don't topple in the tremor

2) Museums to keep people from knocking over that priceless Ming vase

3) Theaters to keep items from falling off of trays etc & spoiling the ambiance of the show.

The Container Store has the original stuff: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/collections/display/cubesCases?productId=10007847

Amazon has it also but they call it QuakeHold museum putty.  Same stuff.

My folks who live in LA use it to keep knickknacks from falling off of shelves during earthquakes.

It really does work and, I don't know how they  do it, but it doesn't leave a grease mark on the item or where you stuck it.  It also comes off clean & can be reused until it gets too dirty.  It holds so strong that you might even be able to keep Charlie in one place!
