Woz Appears in Local Toyota Commercial: We Still Love Him

Who but Steve Wozniak could appear in one of those ridiculous local car ads, and leave us smiling, and with his dignity still intact. Sure, there's a Segway in there too, but we don't want to ruin all the fun, just enjoy!

Thanks to @CapnWiley for the great find!

Woz Is An Even Better Sport Than We Knew

Woz, It Was Fun While It Lasted

Tonight it was the end of the line for "Woz" on Dancing With The Stars. Despite a valiant fan effort to keep him alive last week, he just couldn't get enough votes to avoid tonight's tough double-elimination. Kudos Woz, for doing what you wanted to do, doing something outside of your comfort zone, and having a great time doing it, even through injury. While we're disappointed this means we won't have the Ballmer dance-off of our dreams, I think you inspired many people out there to go after something that they wouldn't normally try. Thanks again, Woz!

Dear ABC: Put Ballmer on Dancing With The Stars

An Open letter to ABC...

ABC, you've dazzled us with your selection of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak for this year's installment of Dancing With The Stars. Several injuries have plagued the dancers this year, and you never know when an injury might force someone out of the competition prematurely. It can be tough to have a competent, radiant performer waiting in the wings. 

I happen to know of such a performer, and his addition to the show would stir up a geek rivalry unlike no other. Please bring Steve Ballmer to the show.

You see, in his capacity at Microsoft, Mr. Ballmer is known to become, excitable and passionate, but he always does it with an unmatched grace, or at least a grace matched only by the operating system his company produces. I've found a demo reel of his classic performance:

It would be the can-do, optimistic spirit of "Woz", versus whatever that was you just watched. Just keep it in mind. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

Thank You

Woz Really Needs Your Help

Ok. It wasn't pretty. It left the judges holding their heads in their hands. But the bottom line is, you can tell Woz is having a lot of fun out on that dance floor on Dancing With The Stars. It was a brutal judging round though, putting Woz at the bottom. As they so frequently say on the show though, and we hope they're right, it's your votes that make the difference, so head over to ABC.com and vote for Woz and his partner Karina Smirnoff.
