X10 Mystery BOC

 

Dick has ordered an X10 Mystery BOC and does a “What’s In the Box?” with Leo.  They’re not exactly bowled over.  The conclusion is that the box has been aptly named.  Dick has gone where angels refuse to tread, so you don’t have to.

Match Game and Set

Much more interesting than the X10 BOC is Dick’s special Match Game Gift Set – a “The Best of Match Game” 4-DVD set (which includes the pilot episode), AND a Match Game Question card autographed by Dick.  Check out Match Game Memories on Dick’s site.

Leo demos his newly-downloaded iPhone app Momu (see Episode 972).

Germs Poster

Dick has prepared a Germs Poster for the March 2010 issue of MAD.  You can look at it now at Dick’s website.

Autographed Can of Lysol

Dick autographed a can of lysol when he last visited the TWiT Cottage.  It’s disappeared.  Someone wants Dick’s autograph after all!

DGW Outtakes

“How about a Daily Giz Wiz Outtakes Show?” suggests the chatroom.  We already have it.  It’s called the Daily Giz Wiz.

I Love SYNC

Jeff Kaplan from Michigan has been driving a Ford Focus since May 2009 and he loves Ford SYNC.  For people who don’t have a smartphone like an iPhone, Blackberry or Droid, they can still enjoy many of the features of SYNC as long as their device (whether it be a dumb phone or an mp3 player) has Bluetooth Audio (like Jeff’s iPod Touch).  On short rides in his Focus, Jeff keeps the iPod Touch in his pocket and only connects it to the USB connector on longer rides.  SYNC can still play his music and podcasts from his iPod Touch.  He can talk hands-free on his bluetooth dumb phone using SYNC which can also call 911 for him in an emergency, from his bluetooth phone.
