Over the weekend, I saw a Model S with number plate "WOZ" in Oakridge mall, San Jose. I wondered if it is him and sure enough it was him driving the car to the supercharger stations.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him driving and trying to charge the car in public locations.

I just sat in front of him on a flight coming back from Poland a few weeks ago. He was vibrant and in good spirits, telling stories and talking to his seat mate for almost the entire flight! They were two chatterboxes (mostly him). I'd read his book iWoz but didn't mention it because I was 1 row up and didn't want to seem like a fangirl but I did enjoy recognizing him and overhearing some of his stories.

I was sort of surprised to see him in Polaris First class and not taking private!

Woz would be one of those select few who I won't care if I look like a fanboy of or not, because I am. :-D

In 2021, I was driving in San Francisco a little south of Golden Gate park and was immediately behind a White Model S with the "WOZ" plate. I got so excited my daughter thought I was a little weird. I wasn't able to confirm he was at the wheel but I snapped a photo anyway. It was fun to have a little brush with history.
