Hasta La Gadget!

Just when it seemed that the Woz’s life was going to take a turn for the serious, ABC goes and announces the lineup for the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. Last week we reported that Steve Wozniak was getting ready to be a technical adviser to enterprise storage company, Fusion-io. Now, it seems, the Apple co-founder will also be moonlighting as a reality show star when Dancing With the Stars premiers on March 9th.

ABC officially announced the lineup for the new season of the show, including a quick, decidedly non-dancing centric bio of the Woz,

A Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three decades, Steve Wozniak, a.k.a. “The Woz,” helped shape the computer industry with his design of Apple’s first line of products, the Apple I and II, and influenced the popular Macintosh. After leaving Apple Computer Inc. in 1985, Wozniak was involved in various business and philanthropic ventures, focusing primarily on computer capabilities in schools and stressing hands-on learning and encouraging creativity for students. In 2000, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment. Wozniak is also a published author with the release of his New York Times Best Selling autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon, in September 2006.

Of course you probably recognize him as the bearded dude on a Segway who dated Kathy Griffith.
