Dick's Boat on Law And Order
As previously reported, Dick's boat will appear in an episode of Law And Order: Criminal Intent sometime in June, all covered in a big top. Read about it on Dick's website. Its previous film appearance, on Pride and Glory starring Edward Norton and Colin Farrell, has yet to be seen on the big screen, as the film has been put off to a 2009 release date.
Watch DGW Live
Leo reminds everyone that you can watch the recording sessions of DGW, and Dick's clutter, every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
Don't forget either that Dick is joining Leo at the TWiTLive Studio on 20 June 2008.
Dash Express
Dick dashed into Robert Currie, President of Dash Express (Episode 572) and got a ride from him, and more. Robert Currie explained in more details how the Dash Express works in collating its sources of traffic information. Leo did too but why would Dick listen to him?
Amazon has a Father's Day special offer for the Dash Express. $100 off.
Still Connected
Wally H's Connectix Quickcam (Episode 580) is still connected, which he uses as a networked security camera.
Mad Minute
No Mad Minute again today. Has Leo run out?

Snappy Video Snapshot
Screen Capture Device
Link: Atomic Internet
This is not a reproduction of an Easter Island statue, but a product from the mid 1990's, made by Play Inc, called the Snappy Video Snapshot. You connected it to a parallel port of the computer. It had composite video in and out, which you hooked up to a video source such as your VCR or TV set, and when you pressed the Capture button, Snappy Video Snapshot would do a screen capture for you. It would also cost you $199.
It was ranked 39 in PC World's 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years in 2005. The latest iteration of this product was Snappy 4.0, still available at the time of writing on Amazon.
Here's a clip, from 1990, from the TV programme Computer Chronicles (from www.archive.org), with Paul Montgomery and Tim Jenison showing a demonstration of the Video Toaster on an Amiga.
Two years later came the Video Toaster 2.0. Here's the promotional video to show what it was capable of in 1992.
Jonas from Norway enjoyed Episode 556's Gotcha, as he loves pranks and jokes with his gifts. However, he hasn't needed to use Gotcha yet, since all he needs to do is give his friend one of Leo's TTTT gadgets like the toothpick bird. Cheaper too.
Law and Order
Woody Allen finally decided not to use Dick's boat for his next film after all, but Dick's boat will now appear in Law And Order. Dick will tell us about it next week. Meanwhile, you can read about it on Dick's website.

Butter and Eggs
It's Butter and Eggs Day in Petaluma where Leo lives, and Leo explains what the parade is like.
Gadget Gripes
Dick wishes manufactures would label their transformers and plugs.
Duracell was going to introduce a universal battery for portable devices. It never came to pass because gadget manufacturers would like to make money out of their own "proprietary" batteries.
