hence the 'practical joke' part of this bit.
We'll probably have to watch the documentary whenever it released to know exactly what's going on with this. - nogg3r5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2isnt that just a light that you bite to make it light up.
The joke is on us, the firewire wires arent bare enough to close the circuit.
Im sure ive seen those lights before..... - thidranki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the firewire cable isn't even connected to a power source
- Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Those aren't even sparks! I was told there would be sparks, where are the sparks? Those a blinkys
- arca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wozniak gave a great keynote two summers ago at the Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in NYC. He talks about a bunch of his practical jokes in depth, and gives a good history of the starting of Apple, Blue Boxing, and the Homebrew Computer Club. http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/mp3/woz-1.mp3 and http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/mp3/woz-2.mp3 (HOPE is put on by 2600, The Hacker Quarterly)
- e3mw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Geez people, it's a practical joke, the analyzation of what he's doing should stop there.
"Practical Joke: a trick played on someone in order to make them look foolish and to amuse others"
He's fooling you into believing sparks are shooting out of his mouth. If you weren't fooled, then congrats! You're a genius and Woz can't fool you! - disord3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy crap, what a dork.
- nicklinus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what kind of light did he put in his mouth?
- WizzleFish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Woz is the coolest. I heard him on TWiT as well talking about those lasers and his Prius.
- slorocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I still think that his notepads of two dollar bills are his best joke
- Dolomite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Fscking awesome! I hope this makes it to Diggnation. Great joke Woz.
- e3mw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've watched the video about 4 times and I still can't tell what the other object is.
- BQ27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I Iistened to Woz on TWIT today. He is a funny guy
- ewingsquadron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Funny clip, but too bad the page is messed up in Safari.
- Dhalgren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it's one of those multicolor led things that you pin to your shirt that he's got in his mouth.
- mrspin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As the director of the movie: In Search of the Valley, I know how Woz did what he did. But I signed a NDA ;)
- mixpix405, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Those a blinkys"
well said, sir. well said.
I hate false advertisement - aquamato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i could listen to Woz talk for hours, he's a very interesting character
- hppyfngy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0don't we all know Woz is a led and laser monkeyjunkey? cute, but bfd
- TimU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey those aren't sparks! Them is teh blinkenlights!
I have a Google pin that blinks the same colors. - Gamsci, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What is the other object?
- beejay54, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Did anyone else see the 'invite' video? Nice.
- cwncool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it's one of the mouth light up things. like a mouth equivalent of a light-stick that you get at a parade. duh!

- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a +digg for bringing up the awareness of the movie, which might be interesting
the "joke" itself is kind of dull - spudwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Didn't anyone notice that he unplugs his iSight FROM the Powerbook and uses the iSight's firewire cable to "electrify" his mouth??!??!
And did you know that they just removed "GULLIBLE" from the dictionary too?? - Dan005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What he did is made a board that fits firewire easily (power connectors) with two LED's, blue and red, has them alternate and puts the board in his mouth, then puts the firewire cable on it, bam it looks like that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh my sides. No stop, you're killing me et cetera.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this has nothing on the practical joke by John Perry Barlow with the two dollar bills and the secret service and the crazy fake id. Man I wish I had the link.
- abhibeckert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Funny clip, but too bad the page is messed up in Safari."
WTF are you talking about? Works perfectly in safari. - speedyrev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That could be what caused my lower memory slot to die.

- kittynipples, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0the point of it all is the Woz is just a big dork.
