Daily Giz Wiz 106: Intuitive Shower Curtain

Short info

First, the winners of the 100th Daily GizWiz “word” game.



Our prizes: Three 512 MB Migo Smart USB Watches & three 512 MB Migo Flash Drives. (Each one is worth around $100 to $150) The Migo Software runs directly on the mobile device so all your critical information can be carried with you and accessed from any computer. It’s like a flash drive with brains!



THE GAME WE PLAYED: The object was to send Dick an email with just one word in the subject line. It was to be a word that Leo and Dick used many times during the first 100 Daily GizWiz Podcasts. And we eliminated proper names like Dick, Leo, MAD, Gaines, etc. We got almost 1,000 entries. The winners would be the first six people who sent in the correct “secret word”. The most common entry: LED! The next two words brought hundreds of entries each: “Gizmo” & “Gadget”. Then they were lots of “gravy”, “boat”, “daily”, “match” and “game”. However, the winning word was……(trumpets) warehouse! We got quite a few of those, including one typo (or Freudian slip) which guessed the secret word as “whorehouse”. I don’t think we used that word once in the first 100 Podcasts!



The first six people to send in the secret word “warehouse” and who are officially the first Daily GizWiz Podcast winners are: Doug Persson, Steven Rudy, Saldend, Brian Horovitz, rschnic, and Richard Dumoulin. Please email me a mailing address and a copy of your winning entry. And please send it from the same email address for verification. We’ve put the six Migo prizes in six padded envelopes which we’ll just address as the winners respond. So whether you get the watch or the flash drive will be random. Not even I will know what you got. But both prizes have the same amount of memory and the same great software. If you didn’t win, guess what? Kingston and Migo have already promised to send us more prizes so we can have more Daily GizWiz games!



And on Monday, we also did talk about a gadget!



Sure a shower can make you cleaner, but smarter too?



Well, yes! The Intuitive Learning Company has come up with a very clever idea! Polyester Shower curtains printed with things like the multiplication tables or even the Top 100 S.A.T. Words. Become a better writer and reader as you shower. Instead of bringing a book into the bathroom, use the shower curtain for reading material. These are no longer available on their website, but at major bath shops.
