Are You Surprised the Woz Admitted to Loving His Nexus One?

GeekSugar — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:00:34 PST

I'm still laughing over this news - Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak snatched up a Nexus One to add to his collection of phones. At first, I thought this meant he was giving up his iPhone (maybe he's having AT&T troubles like the rest of us), but it turns out he's just addicted to new gadgets and admits to having over 100 phones in his lifetime! I'm not surprised he's into the latest and greatest tech, but I am surprised he admitted it so freely.

The Woz Does the Worm One Last Time on DWTS

GeekSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 10:50:16 PDT

How could we end one of the most memorable seasons of Dancing With the Stars without seeing our favorite contestant, the lovable Steve Wozniak, do his memorable worm dance one last time?! I can't say it was as polished as his first attempt, but it sure was entertaining. Congrats to Shawn and Mark for taking home the trophy!

We all have them: Blackmail-worthy photos of ourselves in adolescence and scary teen years that show our geekiness on the inside and out, pictures we'd rather forget we had. But what if you embraced them instead?

A Fond Farewell to the Woz on DWTS

GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:46:57 PDT

Although he left with grace and style (and a big smile on his face!), I'm still sad that Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. He brought so much to the show, including his memorable moves, so we'll definitely miss seeing him next week. Thankfully, according to US Magazine he's already scored a spot in his dance partner's wedding and hopefully we'll be seeing more of him in the future! Take a look at my photo montage which pays tribute to the Woz's entertaining journey on DWTS.

So Long Woz, We Will Miss You!

GeekSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:05:32 PDT

After a four-week journey, which included a leg injury, a geek-inspired performance and some worm break-dancing moves, our favorite Dancing With the Stars competitor, Steve Wozniak, was eliminated last night. With a double elimination, which also included a farewell to Holly Madison, the Woz managed to keep smiling and left with some positive parting words. We are so proud of you Steve!

DWTS Week Four: The Woz Gets Strong and Serious

GeekSugar — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:33:38 PDT

On Dancing With the Stars last night, I couldn't have been more proud of Steve Wozniak's determination to conquer the Argentine Tango. Unlike last week where he was all smiles and surprised us by doing the worm, this week he worked on his serious face (which wasn't easy) and even busted out some lift action. The judges were still cruel with a 12 out of 30 score, although the Woz managed to look on the bright side - saying it was an improvement of 20 percent from last week! Ahh! Before you watch his dance number, check out the amazing intro video, which shows Steve and crew on Segways and him saying something about geeks inheriting the earth?! Vote for Steve!

DWTS Week Three: The Woz Gets Sexy and Does the Worm!

GeekSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:45:15 PDT

Last week, Dancing With the Stars participant Steve Wozniak warmed our hearts by giving 100 percent to his geeky quickstep routine, despite his injury. And this week, he was not only dealing with a fractured foot, but a pulled hamstring as well, and yet he still managed to pull out all of the stops including some serious hip shaking, fancy footwork and he did the worm dance! The judges were a little cruel with their 10 out of 30 score, but in my books, the Woz deserves a 30 out of 30 for his cheery disposition, effort, and for representing geeks in style!
