Woz's Big Adventure: Hydrogen Hummers, Astronauts And James Cameron Filming. In 3D
from the what's-your-vacation-plans dept
Thought your vacation plans were exciting? You've got nothing on Steve Wozniak. While, last we heard, he was supposed to be using the millions of dollars he recently raised to buy some company, it looks like he's a bit more focused on his... rather unique travel plans. theodp writes "You can read the Barron's piece, but Valleywag capsulizes it nicely: 'Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is taking a trip to the South Pole. In a hydrogen-powered Hummer. With Buzz Aldrin in the driver's seat. And James Cameron filming it - in 3D.' As if that ain't enough, he's planning US III for Summer 2007." No. Your vacation plans are not nearly as cool.

Hypnosis
It'll probably be filmed in the Arizona desert AGAIN but Buzz will be hypnotised to think it's the moo.. er... North Pole.

If I had a hydrogen powered hummer, I'd film it in 4D

Re:

Oh yeah, I'd film it in 5D!
PS you're all just jealous (and so am I)

Hydrogen Hummer
I got a hydrogen hummer once. It seemed good at the time, but I spent the next two weeks in the hospital suffering from frostbite.

From the barrons article... it's being filmed FOR james cameron, not BY james cameron. Big difference there.

Why Barrons?
Barrons is a periodical for rich people. It's full of rich people stories, what they do, and how they do it.
Everytime I peruse this magazine, it makes me feel like a pauper. It forces me to covet the people and places within it.
Why is this even a story? It's just more unattainable candy before the eyes of starving children.

There's no way
There's no way that both Woz's and Cameron's egos will fit in something as small as a Hummer.

Actually
You could argue that all films are in 3D and 3D films are in 4D... there's already 2 spatial dimensions to a film... in terms of, say, pixels, you have a movie with a spatial aspect of 720 pixels by 480 pixels... and you have a time dimension... Z pixel appeared at 102w and 320h at 1 minute and 20 seconds, sounds like 3 dimensions to me... so add in that 3rd spatial dimension and suddenly you have 4 dimensions... :P

Ran out of ideas
This just proves that Woz only had one good idea in his life. Most high tech goofs that make it only make it by accident. Woz is one of them. They spend the rest of their lives trying to prove that their making it was not an accident, but it was.
Woz, Apple was an accident get over it..

Re: Ran out of ideas
Yeah to piss you off even more Wozniak wrote an autobiography titled:
Woz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It.
Gee, is he REALLY all that!
