Steve Wozniak To Appear On Dancing With the Stars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the he-sure-gets-around dept.

Redpill82 writes "It has been confirmed that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak will be a contestant on the new season of Dancing with the Stars starting on March 9. Did ABC determine that ratings were low with the technology community? I know I'll be interested in seeing how far Mr. Wozniak goes in the competition."

    - he is famous engineer (I will never be famous)
    - he is a talented engineer (I will never be talented)
    - he built revolutionary products (I write Perl scripts)
    - he's a member of the Segway Polo team (I have a folding bicycle)
    - he gets to dance close with a hot woman on television (Mom, what's for breakfast?)

      Loser perhaps, but you aren't so much of a loser that your going on dancing with the stars, which no self respecting person does.

    Either really well or really badly. My hunch is that it won't be in between.

    How much does a sub 1k Slashdot UID cost on a free market ?

    Maybe I can buy myself a good UID and the girls will go crazy on me.

    BitZtream is not off base. I was very athletic in school with letters and trophies and all. 15 years ago I could run a marathon. After a spinal injury I have not kept in good shape and I let my weight go too, so this will be hard for me. But it's not about dancing. It's about ratings and attracting viewers. You never know what pranks I might find a way to pull on the show.

    I don't mind it when people treat me badly. I wish I had no fame and no money, and I do my best to limit both. But I'm not cool enough to turn down the producers to DWTS. By the way, I had never seen the show until I watch a DVD last night.

    I believe you might have come up with the worst strategy for getting girls, ever.
