Today's Webtip: The Woz

Some old links featuring a very sharing Steve Wozniak.

Steve Wozniak is a geek god. Intelligent, caring, friendly and curious are just a few of the words that spring to mind when I think of him. The fact that he volunteered as a grade-school teacher is just the cherry on top of it all.

So I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that he's a pretty genuine guy in his online life as well. I don't know how often other celebrities actually show up to comment on articles written about them (IAMA's don't count), but I think the Woz is the only one I can remember.

I ran into a post about the incredible gadget collection Steve carries with him, and did a double-take when I realized he was answering questions in the comments.

Of course, it might just be a coincidence since he was already online answering questions in another article, but I prefer to think we just hang out in the same places and he's just a really nice guy.

And just because I found it, how about a link to a talk he gave to a Macintosh user group?
