Steve Wozniak’s autobiography “I, Woz” is coming out this fall and I’m itching to get a hold of it. The San Jose Mercury news is running a brief interview with the Woz detailing some well trodden ground, and also some idiosyncrasies about being the co-founder of Apple.

I was in Boston once. I needed two AC adapters. I ran into this new Apple store. I went up to the counter, “I’d like two 65-watt AC adapters.” I didn’t say anything about who I was. And they bring them out. I say, “How much?” They say, “We are expensing it.” I said, “Yeah, but how do I pay for it?” They said, “No, no, no — we are allowed to give gifts to special people.”

While Woz’s following may not be as numerous as that of the other Steve, I’d argue they’re at least as adoring, if not more so. Why the popularity for someone who has flown under the radar for so long? In my opinion, he’s an uncorruptible force, unswayed by fortune or fame; a reluctant success story. He started out wanting to build computers, and is largely still the OG (original geek) he always has been. Seriously, the guy participates in Segway Polo, ’nuff said.
