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

Our email this week is from Doug Johnson who says: "This Gadget hits most of your marks; LEDs, trains, Christmas, and big! Here's Doug's email:

Above, those are two full-size railroad box cars with LED lighting!Hi Dick and Chad, I was a train dispatcher for 20 years and never got to see this train. I did talk to everyone aboard every year, and was responsible for the safe passage of the train and for coordinating all of the police and safety efforts when the train would stop for shows. This train makes stops along the Canadian Pacific tracks throughout Canada and the United States raising money and food for local food shelves. They put on a 20 to 30 minute show using up and coming entertainers who travel in the cars on the rear of the train. The car will th the two Christmas trees and the big sheet metal panel houses the stage and the sound system. The panel folds down into a full sized stage. I retired two years ago just before I took this video. This was the first time I had ever seen the train moving. I hope you enjoy this hastily put together video (all done on my iPhone using the clips app in about 10 minutes)

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 (favorite old, or favorite new): 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 earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I canemail an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific!

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week:

From: ED Subject: Bluetooth  (Ed is referring to the show where I wondered if a phone could ever pair to two Bluetooth devices at the same time since I had purchased two separate earbuds from the same company.)

Hi Dick, I am watching GizWiz #1703 when you showed the Earbuds. Well I have a Samsung Note 8 and it has it built in that you can use two different Bluetooth devices at the same time. I just wanted to let you know that this is already out. I love the show and have a great day. Love you guy's and keep up the great work your doing also.

Sent from my Samsung Note 8. Thanks Ed from South Philly.
