New GizWiz Picture/Album Art
Leo's TWiT website is getting a mini facelift. All the album art for the TWiT podcasts has a new look, including the one for DGW. At the same time, Dick's website is getting a new look, too. The home page of GizWizBiz.cm is now the page for the gadgets for the current month, which is a good idea. Dick's write-ups for old DGW episodes are now easier to get to. Check it out. But previous links on this blog to Dick's write-ups on DGW gadgets may have to be changed in due course.
