Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

Our viewer video this week is from Ben, Omaha, NE who has submitted videos before. Here's  his email:

Hi Dick and Chad,

On a recent show you mentioned the IPOD not being sold. I have a video you may enjoy on the IPOD Touch that I still have.

Ben from Omaha NE

From the Giz Wiz: Great, Ben. You reminded me that I also have an iPod Touch, plus a great gadget for iPod Touch owners. (You can still find it for sale if you do a Google search. It's
XtremeMac's 3 in 1 Microdock. It adds speakers to your iPhone or iPod Touch. and provides a good-looking charging/docking station, snooze control and some other neat features. You need to download the free XtremeMac alarm clock app at iTunes. Yes the Microdock works without the app, but you won’t be able to use a lot of the features. The two very small neodymium drivers offer surprisingly good sound from a docking station that weighs less than five ounces. On the Microdock itself are volume up/down rockers and play/pause music controls.

Used on ebay: $9 + $9 shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/373819769672

************************************
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! 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 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy 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! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Yea! Another Live Pepcom Show Right Here in NYC! Our 1^st appliance stops a familiar problem in the kitchen.

What's The Worst Thing About Having A Food Processor?

Protor Silex says “Users Hate Cleaning It After Use!” So they are introducing the Proctor Silex Quick Clean Food Processor. The secret to cleaning up the mess left after a meal is the innovative Quick Clean cycle to easily clean the bowl, blades and lid. Simply place the chopping blade in the bowl, add water, insert the patent-pending agitator disc with dish soap, lock on the lid and press Clean. After the cycle completes, a quick rinse with water finishes the job. For making a meal, you can precisely control food texture with the infinitely variable speed dial. Go from 500 to 2,500 rpms or use pulse for quick bursts of power. The 450-watt DC motor is powerful enough to handle your processing tasks with ease. There's also a nine-cup leak proof bowl, 2-in-1 feed chute, stainless-steel chopping blade and the reversible disc. And I like that you can store all the included accessories in the bowl to keep things neat on the counter or in the kitchen cabinet. The Proctor Silex Quick Clean Food Processor - Model 70810 has a MSRP: $89.99 and will be available starting August 2022.

Kidde Introduces First 3-in-1 Smart Detection Alarm System

The new Smart Detection System can monitor for Smoke, Carbon Monoxide and Indoor Air Quality. The company says consumers today are more connected than ever with 83% of Americans having at least one smart device in their home. According to a 2022 nationwide survey commissioned by Kidde and conducted online by The Harris Poll, three in five smart device owners (60%) rely on those devices to keep their families and them safe, and 69% have peace of mind knowing that those devices will alert them in real-time when an issue arises. So the new Kidde HomeSafe enabled devices offer technologies and features to help protect the people, places and things. On this week's show you'll see their new Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Indoor Air Quality Monitor - offers triple detection of smoke, carbon monoxide and indoor air quality issues, including adverse temperature, humidity levels and total volatile organic compounds. And also their Water Leak + Freeze Detector - helps prevent potentially costly repairs from water damage and frozen pipes by quickly alerting homeowners of water leaks or temperature drops. Both available soon at Home Depot.

Lenovo's Big News Is "Small", But Powerful!

One of the gadgets I was most interested in seeing at Pepcom was the new ThinkStation P360 Ultra from Lenovo. As you'll see on this week's show it features a revolutionary new form factor. With a push of a button, you can pretty much take the unit apart if you decided you want to upgrade something. When ordering you can select from the latest Intel CoreTM processors, 5.2GHz 16 Cores -12th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, i7, i9 - 8 P-cores, 8 E-cores. There's NVIDIA professional graphics - RTX A5000 mobile - choice of discrete or integrated graphics. Lenovo says this workstation breaks new ground by delivering superior performance 128 GB DDR5 - 4000MHz ECC or non-ECC. And flexibility in a chassis less than four liters in total volume. Now, I don't what what four liters of total volume means, but it's small in inches! Dimensions (W x D x H) In inches that's: 3.4 x 8.7 x 7.9. Weight: 3.96 lbs + depending of model. Price will start at $1200.00 and it will available in the next couple of months.

Chad's Cheap Gadget Theme For June, picked by our loyal Patreons, is Cheap Summertime Gadgets.

Chad's 5^th & Final Cheap Summertime Gadget is The LHJJJL Brand (Huh??) 6 Piece Popsicle Molds. (Their Amazon description says the same thing over and over again:) Silicone Pop Molds For Kids. Multi-color Reusable Ice Pop Mold, Frozen Ice Popsicle Maker with lid. 6 / $12.99. They got 4 out of 5 stars from just 22 reviews.

And Chad's take? Chad thought it was strange that they came in clear plastic bag with no brand name and zero instructions. As you'll see on this week's show he experiments with various amounts of liquid to see what works best. He does succeed in making a bunch of ice pops, and you'll hear what he thought of them after tasting them. I could not find that brand of ice pop on Amazon the day after the show, but fear not, here's a link to a ton of companies making almost the same product! And many of them offer a stand so they don't have to lay on their sides in your freezer.
