Woz Lives to Stumble Around, Oops, Tango, Another Day!

Getting a foot fracture, pulling a hamstring, claiming there was a voting conspiracy, getting an abysmal score of 10 out of 30 from the judges (the lowest score ever) and, of course, dancing with as much grace as a block of cement were not enough to sink the Good Ship Wozniak last night on “Dancing With the Stars.” Instead, the people spoke loud and proud for continued goofiness by voting for the clod-hopping Apple co-founder in droves and tossing off actress and Charlie Sheen nemesis, Denise Richards. Next up: Tango Argentina! Or, most likely in Woz’s version: Mangled Argentina.

"DWTS" Diva Woz "Hams" It Up–Another Injury, Vote-Rigging and Teletubbies!

Self-described Teletubby, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak sure knows how to make things dramatic. For the second time, after a foot fracture, his continued appearance on the ABC celebrity show “Dancing With the Stars” appears in jeopardy, due to an apparent hamstring injury he suffered at practice on Friday. Curiously, a picture of Woz on a stretcher and an update of his injured status were taken off his Woz.org blog sometime over the weekend (I saw the picture on Saturday night on my iPhone, but it is impossible to find now). Also previously 86ed was a letter he had posted and then unposted about his contention that some vote-rigging was taking place on the show.

Nerdy Dancing: All That Woz

Dear Mark Cuban: Apparently, Steve Wozniak, the ever-wackier-as-the-years-go-by co-founder of Apple, is taking up your geek banner on “Dancing With the Stars” and is a contestant on the eighth outing for the popular celebrity hoofing show on ABC. He is among 13 “stars” who will start up their samba-and-tango death match on March 9. Can Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang be far behind?
