Woz drives his Prius very quickly

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Aug 21st, 2007

Who says hybrids are slow?

Woz was recently ticketed for pushing his Prius to 104 m.p.h. on California Interstate 5. His excuse was that international traveling had him thinking in kilometers per hour, not miles. The judge thought this over, then handed Steve a $700US fine.

Why was Woz in such a hurry? Perhaps he had a date with Kathy.

Thanks, Phil!

iWoz on iTunes

by Laurie A. Duncan (RSS feed) on Dec 8th, 2006

iWoz - From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It has made its way into the audiobook section of the iTunes Music Store (iTs link). All 9 hours and 14 minutes of it. Patrick Lawlor does a fine job of narrating it, but he sounds nothing like Woz. And he's no Joey Slotnick, either. That always bothers me when I listen to autobiographies and memoirs. I keep expecting to hear the words straight from the horse's mouth. It's distracting to have it be someone who sounds completely different than what you know the author sounds like. Am I alone in that thinking?

I wonder if iWoz' presence in iTunes is Steve-o's way of making up for that $3,150 he cheated Woz out of?

Anyway, for $15.95, it can be yours - and as the iTunes store blurb reminds us, it also makes a great gift!

Thanks, Steve!

Found Footage: The Woz sells the Datsun 280z

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Dec 7th, 2006

The Woz always makes me smile, and his turn in this Datsun commercial is no different. Watch and find out why the Woz prefers the Z, and how his voice goes down many octaves when he is enthusiastic.

Woz speaking in Philly

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Sep 28th, 2006

Attention Philadelphia area Mac geeks, Steve Wozniak will be speaking at the Free Library, on 19th and Vine, this Saturday at 2pm. He'll be talking about iWoz, his new autobiography. This even is free, and tickets are not required.

I'll be attending, and I thought it would be fun to see if we could have some sort of impromptu TUAW meetup. What say you all?

Woz's old house up for sale

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Sep 5th, 2006

What do you give the Mac fanatic who has everything? Well, if your budget is $10 million dollars how about a newly remodeled house that used to be the residence of Steve Wozniak? The house, located in Los Gatos, CA, is 7,100 square feet has 6 bedrooms and 7.5 baths (pictured above).

I know what you're thinking, that sounds rather ordinary for the Woz. The dude is driving to the South Pole for goodness sake!

Well, the house has been remodeled since the Woz lived there, but some of his touches remain. The house has a realistic cave in the backyard, a 500 square foot children's discovery complex, and a pet hotel.

Thanks, Sean.
