    In reply to Steve Wozniak Stars in Local Car Commercial With "Punker, the Boss's Dog"
    If I were Steve Wozniak, I would probably get bored sometimes (case and point, "Dancing with the Stars"). One way to stave off boredom is to do ads for car dealerships, perhaps the one he buys his several Priuses (Prii?) at.

    Makes sense. I mean, he's the Woz. What else is he doing?

    I can't get over the mouth-breathing. Or the fact he hasn't done anything new in 25 years.

    I love Segways, I love dogs, and I love my Prius's. I have owned 7 Prius's and never asked for nor got a discount on one. I love showing people photos of how I drove 416 miles to San Diego and got 54.1 mpg once. So of course I accepted the offer of 2 companies I use and like, the other being the one that has repaired my Prius's on ocassion (no more need be said).

    The first car commercial small payment went to a charity they selected, the second to one I selected.

    You can also pay money for my autograph from my web site. I am not the sort of person to stoop to this, so why do I do it? Because a woman approached me with the plan and I liked her being such an entrepreneur and she probably doesn't have much money and this is a way to make some. Heidi keeps all the money from that and I'm very glad to be able to help her. It's one of those funny accidents of life.

    I also filmed a reality TV show, one episode, last week. I was told that a 7-year old had me as a hero and I showed up to surprise him. But the 3 hours I spent with him and his family afterwards was the really important thing.

    I'm glad to enjoy life and do what I want, and I try to be an example to others to do the same.

    Next car commercial I may do the worm in.

    @stevewoz: I must say, you have impressive dog-segwaying skills.

    And you got my parents dancing. How did you manage that?

    @stevewoz: Did no one stop to ask why the Woz has owned 7.... 7 Prii? Considering they came to existence in '97 and didn't make it to the states until '01 that would mean he would be using almost a Prius every year or 2. That sounds like the opposite of being charitable, more like littering African Villages with giant Prius batteries.

    This all being said if stevewoz is the real deal... I am skeptical.

    I'm down with this. Woz probably thought, "Ah, what the hell, I'll bet it'll be fun," and that's the right attitude to take. Hell, Quentin Tarantino did nearly the same thing, for probably the exact same reason, which is cool, too.

    woz is a very aggressive player, but manages to maintain civility at all times. I once rubbed wheels with him, causing him to stack pretty hard. While riding a segway that he loaned to me. Suffice to say I felt like an asshole - until the next week, when he accidentally smashed my thumb with his mallet.

    in the big picture this only reinforces my impression that he's a very cool guy who has a lot of fun doing his own thing.

    I wish him wellness and happiness in all things.

    If he was hawking the Black Gold 280ZX, then there would be a Giz-Jalop crossover to end all crossovers.
