It was raining and Steve walked across the playground wearing a red, white, and yellow umbrella hat\u2014indicative of his love for quirky innovations. He walked in, took off his hat, and asked us to gather around. Then he pulled a floppy disk out of his pocket and proceeded to take it apart to show us what each piece did. In the back of the room were 30 brand new Apple Macintosh PowerBooks (1400c) on loan to us. He said that those who mastered the concepts would get to keep theirs at the end of the year.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can\u2019t look at Woz &amp; Jobs as one person. They were distinctly two entirely different people. Steve Wozniak was an educator, a philanthropist and a geek in a very direct way. His style didn\u2019t scale beyond what he could do himself. I don\u2019t remember him as much of a delegator. We met a few times and each time, he made me feel respected and involved. His life after Apple was far more important from a social perspective. He gave away a great deal of his money and used it to educate my generation. This was a great read.<\/p>\n<p>I found this photo of meeting him at Macworld 2007:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;MWSF 2007 - Misc Photos&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/31368103224\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"MWSF 2007 - Misc Photos\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/745\/31368103224_00753c4707_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Vice: Thinking back to that class, I remember looking out the classroom window on our first day.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6572","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1I0","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4419,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/01\/09\/happy-eight-birthday-iphone\/","url_meta":{"origin":6572,"position":0},"title":"Happy Eight Birthday, iPhone","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 9, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Today, eight years ago, I was sitting in the media area around row 15 @ Moscone Center when Steve Jobs announced iPhone.
