RSSDancing with the Woz

Let it never be said that Apple co-founder and legendary prankster Steve Wozniak doesn't have a wonderful sense of fun. But how's his sense of rhythm? We're about to find out, as Wozniak is slated to show off his moves on the next season of Dancing With The Stars.
For those who've managed to miss this cultural phenomenon, it's an ABC series; celebrity "dancers" train with professional hoofers and go on to strut their stuff on camera. Each week, one dancer is eliminated by a combination of judges' results and fan voting via phone/text/Web.
The Wozniak season, as we at Betanews will now persist in calling it, starts Monday, March 9 -- doubtless giving leagues of Mac folk plenty of time to plan their voting strategy, and some of the rest of us ample days to meditate on the prospect of a waltzing Wozniak.
Wozniak wont get far. 2 hours after the voting closes, iPhone users is still struggling with the touch-keyboard, trying to send their first sms-vote.
Score: 2
|This doesn't surprise me. Anybody who had a hand in starting the coolest company on earth reeks with COOL.
Score: 0
|Is that what strenuous dancing causes one to reek with? Because that fancy stuff really is a workout. That said, this really ought to be fun. Internetworld7, as one of our pre-eminent Mac partisans here, do you expect you'll be phoning/texting in your votes for this?

Angela, I must say... you're quite the diplomat. ;-)
Score: 0
|Absolutely! Anybody from Apple automatically gets my vote. I just wish Obama picked Steve Jobs as Vice President. Biden is cool but Jobs is the definition of Cooler Than Cool. :)
Score: 0
|Wouldn't "Colder than Cool" be "Cold"?
Now I'm expecting someone to say, "That was Cold, man." :)
Score: 0
