Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video On Any Kind Of Gadget!

It's time for another unique gadget discovered by a long-time loyal fan who loves gadgets as much as Chad & I do, Mo Torres. Here's his email:

Hey Guys

 

This is such a silly, no reason why this exists & useless gadget. So silly, that you have to buy it. I paid $29.98, not the current asking price of $45.00.

 

On Amazon it's: Compact Bluetooth Umbrella with Speaker micxroSD audio player - Travel Windproof Folding 7TECH Umbrella Compact Travel Windproof Bluetooth Folding Umbrellas for women,Ergonomic Handle, Auto Open/Close

Love the show - Mo

 

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

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 via Tech Guy Labs:

Hey Dick-

I found several www.Fivebelow.com stores out here on the west coast. Bought two iPhone lightning connector docks for $5.00 each. Found some cool stuff on their website, like an app controlled RGB bulb that will work with an app for level and color control. The people there didn’t know about the $10,00 items (limited stock) that’s on the website, insisting that NOTHING there sells for more than $5.00 !

Docks (which come in various colors) are working great-they have an attached USB A cable -just sent back my recently purchased Apple dock back to Amazon @ $32.00. 

They apparently have stores all over, besides NYC. The attached photo of the dock reminds me of the Belkin dock which sells for $30 or more.

But I bought one, took it home and tested it and then went back for another one .Thanks for the tip on The Tech Guy Show, yesterday !
