Mark it on your calendars, boys and girls: Steve Wozniak is 60 years awesome today! This is a time for celebration, for without the Other Steve--the Dancing Steve--there could have been no Apple.

For those of you unfamiliar with the legend of how Apple came to be, Wozniak and Steve Jobs met in 1970. After selling a few of their prized possessions to raise the capital, the pair brought the company into being on April 1, 1976 in order to sell their first marketed creation, the Apple I computer kit. The kits were build from scratch by Wozniak. From Scratch. And you thought your pal with that sweet gaming rig had some street cred because he put together it together from components he bought off the shelf.

For his ingenuity over the years, the Woz has been awarded the National Medal of Technology, an honorary doctorate of Engineering, is in the Inventor's Hall of Fame, and has a Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment.

A higher honor still, Wozniak has--through his charitable work, accessibility, and overwhelming enthusiasm for all things tech--won a special place in the hearts of everyone here at Mac|Life as well of millions of the world's Apple faithful.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Wozniak, and thank you for all the wonder and joy you've brought us over the years.

And now, because no story about the Wizard of Woz can be complete without it, let us all take the time to enjoy his busting of a move.
