Episode 869

Hang & Level
For the story of how Liette Tousignant, an interior designer in Calgary, developed Hang & Level, see an article in the Alberta Venture.  Here's the TV commercial for Hang & Level which shows how it works.



Gadget Development
For private inventors, gadget development is a very risky business.  Not every story is a success story like Topsy Tail, or Crocs (developed by Jennifer's step-sister, Leo reveals).  If you want Dick's advice, go back to Episode 141 (Dick's Words of Wisdom), where you can also hear Dick's story of the poster frames that Dick mentions in the show, which are called "CornerIts".

Remote Buddy's 12V Battery
When Dick talked about the Remote Buddy in Episode 844, he was puzzled by the 12V battery supplied, with which Dick was unfamiliar.  John Zinn from Texas, for whom the Daily Giz Wiz is his prime source of information and entertainment when he is on the road, reckons that the 12V battery is either the MN21 or MN23, commonly used in a motor-vehicle's remote key fob.  By the way John's is the 4th letter written about Episode 844.
