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

This is a different kind of viewer video. It's not an original video a viewer emailed us, but a link to a YouTube video. Turns out the gadget in the video is so interesting I thought it would be fun to share it with our Giz Wiz audience. Here's the email and the video link: 

Hey Dick and Chad! I came across a video on YouTube about a neat gadget called a protopiper. It is a tape gun turned into a prototyping machine. I have included a link to the YouTube video. The video will explain what this gadget does.

Here is the link to the video:

Thanks, Joe Isgrigg aKaJoE  

The link at the YouTube location was a 404 error for me. But there is more info here:

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so 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! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Hey Dick and Chad

I was just listening to Giz Wiz 1151 and you mentioned that it was one year ago that Chad started hosting the show with Dick. In fact, Chad took over full time on Jan 8, 2014 with episode 1450 https://twit.tv/shows/weekly-daily-giz-wiz/episodes/1450?autostart=false making it two years

keep up the great work!  Sam Abuelsamid
