Nerds Rejoice! Steve Wozniak is Dancing with the Stars

Nerds Rejoice! Steve Wozniak is Dancing with the Stars

Even if you've never heard of Steve Wozniak- you've definitely seen his handiwork. As the co-founder of Apple Computers and the inventor of the Apple I & II, Wozniak (lovingly referred to as Woz) revolutionized the world of personal computing. Your iPod, iPhone, Macbook, iMac- heck even the PC you're running- none of that would be possible without Steve Wozniak. Woz left Apple during its heyday, while the Applie II was still the hot thing on the market but he's stayed in the computer world ever since. In recent years, Woz has been popping up everywhere including repeat appearances on Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List.

 

Humble beginings

 

His latest foray into the limelight has proven Woz to be a true renaissance man. Last night, during the premiere of Dancing With the Stars, Woz strutted his stuff and proved to geeks everywhere he has what it takes to shake his money-maker. If you know anything about Woz and his Scrooge McDuck-like fortune, you'll know that's quite a lot of money he's making. Woz did the cha-cha alongside the deliciously-named Karina Smirnoff. You can see how they did in this video:

 

 

 

I thought he did a good job considering he's spent most of his life at a computer desk. The judges don't seem to think so but, hey, they have to worry about ratings so they need to employ a bit of the old Simon Cowell method to keep people watching. Doesn't seem to bother Woz. Way to go and dance the dance of life for nerds everywhere!

 

Of course, having the support of geeks is the only thing Woz has going for him. Numerous websites campaigning to get the votes for Wozniak have been in place well before the show's premiere.

You can cast your vote for Woz or any of the dancers at ABC.com
