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

This is a viewer video, just not a "gadget warehouse" video. But since it's a gadget I might have found at the National Hardware Show, I thought this was a perfect place to use it on the show!

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

Here's a great device that was designed for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, but has break hunting and camping applications at home.

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:

Have you ever wondered what you might get if you submit your own video to The Giz Wiz Show, and we included it on the program? Wonder no more! Ashkan Ardalan whose video we did use made his own ‘unboxing’ video to show what he 'crappy stuff' he received. Actually, the stuff was pretty good. And no, he doesn’t get more stuff for sending us a video of the stuff we sent him for his other video! But it was fun to see. Here’s his email and his video: 

Hey Dick and Chad and the gizwiz gang :)    

here is my  GizWiz un-boxing  video:
