Back To Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To The Show.

Our viewer video of the week started with this email:

Subject: Titanium ITEMS you might enjoy

Dick and Chad

Not to long ago you were discussing items made of titanium. I thought I would send you a short video of my titanium money clip. These titanium money clips were manufactured by RMI Titanium of Niles OH.  

They manufacture all types of products for the Space Industry and Aerospace Industry mainly.  This particular money clip  was manufactured on the occasion of Neil Armstrong visiting the plant around 1985. He was on the Board of Directors and these were handed out to dignitaries. I managed to snag one because I had done computer favors for one of the vice president's. Also many employees there would manufacture items (on the side) or I mean under the table.  

I am including a picture of a pizza pan made of titanium; it was absolutely the best ever. It held the heat and stayed hot for quite a while. Unfortunately I was unable to take a picture of the titanium snow shovel. It also was fantastic because it was light and had a very sharp edge that cut the Ice. Because of the expense of titanium these products were never commercially produced.

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! 

You’ll get an autographed copy of MAD Magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture if we show your video, and who knows, maybe you’ll be discovered by a YouTube Talent Agent! 

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 us 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’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!   

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv. (NOTICE! This is a new email address!) 

Letter of the week:

This email sounded just a little cucukoo to me, but I thought I'd share it to see what you think:

My name is Y.Kimura from Japan. I would like to introduce our project, I think you may have interest.

Now we can make the watch which has popping cuckoo out function . Now everybody have interest most on “apple I watch” but not IT high technology direction, but this is also good technology of mechanical .
