Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

Our viewer video of the week arrived with this email:

From: Anne Yantha
Subject: My Gadget Warehouse 

Hi Dick and Chad, 

Came across this gadget the other day when it literally fell out of the closet and hit me on the head during a thunderstorm. 

Also after recording this, I now know why I will never achieve YouTube fame! Chad you make it look so easy!

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! We're cheap so magazine and Alfred E. picture can only be sent to folks in the US or Canada. But everyone still gets to see your video and hear your name no matter where you live!

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

Letter of the week:

Hey Chad & Dick,

I couldn't make you guys a video due to me having to go back to school tomorrow. So I hope this email will do. I am turning 16 on Thursday the 16th of July, the day of your next stream and podcast which make me very happy!

I live in Australia and is it cold and windy here during this winter, so I'm binge watching The Giz Wiz while in bed.

Anyway, my gadget is what I consider to be old. For my 11th birthday (2010) I was given the latest thing for teenagers. The iPod touch. It was an 8g 2nd generation, which let you have a lock screen picture; but not a home screen. And because I haven't charged it for a while, my lock screen is still of, would you believe it, OMGchad and Captainsparklez! 

It still works to this day, although the headphone jack doesn't work very well with headphones, but it is still one of my favourite things on the planet and it's fun to show friends and laugh about how not to long ago, that technology was considered amazing, yet now basic.

I love the Giz Wiz and Chad's YT channel. So thankyou for making my life just *that* much better! (Keep shooting for 100K Chad, you're nearly there!)
