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: 

Hi Dick and Chad, 

Hope you are doing well. 

This is Mark from the Philippines. Here's my video for 'I invented this'. It's a Power Timer. It's a device that lets you put a timer on your electrical sockets. It uses a timer that turns the sockets on its side on or off on a specified duration, or at intervals. So you can plug any appliance or gadget and it will automatically turn them on or off based on a timer. 

Here's the link to my video:

I forgot to mention in the video that the Power Timer runs on a regular power outlet. And the timer I used is from my dad, who found it, back when he was still working in a recycling facility. 

Thanks! Hope you like my video :)  Mark

                                      *****************************

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
