Geeks of the World! Unite!


I have to say, I have never really been interested in any of the talent competition shows. But I'm at least becoming a closet fan of Dancing with the Stars because of one guy - Woz.

Steve Wozniak is better known as one of the co-founders of Apple. After this, he might become better known as the rallying point for geeks around the world for his performance in Dancing with the Stars. Despite physical limitations (not just his size, but injured foot and hamstring), he's survived for week 4. And the judges' comments along with his comments have been just putting me in stitches. From the judges the first week: "It was like a Teletubby going mad in a gay pride parade." Last night's comment from Steve about being declared safe (and in the top 4): "I don't think I've ever been so surprised by anything in my life except for when I got served with divorce papers."

These are great. You can't script these comments!

Even more interesting was an article in CNN yesterday. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/24/wozniak.dancing.stars/index.html?iref=mpstoryview. Geeks of the world appear to be rallying behind Woz. And it's funny. It'll end probably sooner than later, but until then, it's great entertainment. If not for the dancing.

Geeks of the World! Unite!
