Ziszor

Portable Paper Shredder

Ziszor

This time, it's Leo's turn to do a "What's In the Box?" routine, and Dick's turn to guess what it is.  It's Ziszor, a portable, hand-held shredder.  It runs on 4 AA batteries, comes with 4 Ziszor catcher bags, and you shred your paper trail right into the bag.  Ziszor's slogan is, Don't let your mail be your trail.  But as Leo demonstrates, it can't shred Colleen's credit card, though it will shred your English spelling into oblivion.

A Wireless Toaster
Karen Toast Conger, of ToastFloats, used to work for WatchGuard, a network security devices company.  As a parting gift, she was given a very special toaster.  Her colleagues bought her a Cuisinart toaster, took it apart, and put a WatchGuard Firebox X Edge wireless router into it.  A wireless router, security device, and a toaster.

Aqua Pill Timer

Pill Box with Timer and Water Supply

Zelco Aqua Pill Timer

A pill box with a timer to remind you to take your pill.  A small compartment holding 2 ounces of water allows you, with a built-in straw, to take your medication with some water.  This is the second pillbox gadget introduced by Dick, the first being the Excalibur Rx Master (Episode 7).

Iodine Ice-Cream
Leo has stopped making ice-cream with the Cuisinart Ice-45 (Episode 347) for fear of putting on weight (not a lost cause yet?).  Dick has a solution for Leo.

Audible Trial
Dick is trying Audible out and has been listening to Steve Martin and John Cleese.  Audible supports many devices, including the Digisette (Episode 125).

A Podcast of Enlightenment
Among DGW's audience is Pastor Paul W Newell of Family Fellowship, who listens to DGW while compiling the church bulletin, for a little technological enlightenment.  He has been much amused by the Screenshooter (Episode 375).

Cuisinart Ice-45

Soft-Serve Ice-Cream Maker

Cuisinart Ice-45

Cuisinart Freezer Bowl

Leo had to enlist the help of Ron Rosberg for this TTTT.  Put the special double-lined freezer bowl in the freezer overnight.  Put in your ice-cream mix, put the bowl into the Ice-45 compartment, turn it on and it will crank the mixture for you into soft-serve ice-cream.  Add your favourite jimmies, sprinkles or chocolate chips.

Carvel Icecream
Leo laments the absence of Carvel out where he is, and Dick makes fun of its mascot, the clumpy-head whale which Dick calls "Lumpy the Whale".  But check out Episode 357.

The Power of DGW
A listener Mike Ulin was almost hypnotised into buying the Speck Macbook Covers for his Dell notebook (Episode 192), but he did fall prey to the Titanium Spork (Episode 182).
