The celebration isnt just a reason to commemorate an important figure in American technology history. Its also a fundraiser to support Jewels Inspiring Children Foundation (yes, as in the Grammy-nominated vocalist Jewel). She will be hosting tonights celebrations, which will include a big variety of vocalists, stars, comics, and other significant celebrities. Its a seriously excellent (and honestly, rather eclectic) mix, of which the following is just a small sample: Carlos Santana, Chris Rock, Emmylou Harris, George Takei, John Sculley, Kristi Yamaguchi, Mark Cuban, Nancy Pelosi, Rafael Nadal, Richard Branson, Shaquille ONeal, and William Shatner.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak turns 70 years old today, and you can commemorate by attending his celebrity-studded virtual birthday party thats taking place in simply a few hours at 8PM ET. Todays party also kicks off an “11 Days of Wozdom” social media contest offering Woz-autographed Apple products as rewards.
Regardless of leaving Apple in 1985, Wozniak is still closely connected with the company
While at HP, he met Steve Jobs and went on to design Apples first computer systems, the Apple I and Apple II. Wozniak has since ended up being a really public figure, and regardless of leaving Apple in 1985, he is still carefully associated with the business he co-founded (and could even be found waiting outside an Apple Store for the launch of a brand-new iPhone, just like the rest of us).
If you desire to view Wozniaks birthday celebration tonight, you can tune in on the birthday partys site, Twitch, or Twitter, and the festivities start at 8PM ET.
Update, 9:34 PM ET: While the stream has actually had some technical difficulties, you can see a replay of the entire show right here on Vimeo.
