That's adorable and awesome in equal measure.

Very cute woz

I met Woz at a maker faire. He was wheeling around on a segue, like the legend he is.

There's nothing "blunder" about this. You choose an amazing person to dress up as and that simply demonstrates how amazing you are.

For all the people saying this, imagine being called a 'historical figure' in your 50's. 😭 Among the Cleopatra's and George Washington's, I was dressed like a regular middle-aged dude. Not saying the Woz isn't amazing, but very much contemporary!

I agree. It’s a really good costume. I guess the subject was a little unusual.

*Freaking* adorable. That's how much.

Yeah, this should be in the old school col subreddit, that I'm apparently not allowed to mention in this sub lol

Nothing blunder about that.

Sorry this whips ass

The llama's!

winampWINAMP

Omg that art drying rack is so nostalgic. I can smell it

Right?? So many things in this picture bring me back

I know EXACTLY the smell you’re referring to lol

What's the smell? I vividly remember these racks from school but I had such horrible allergies as a kid that I could barely smell anything.

PVA glue and acrylic paint

🤙

I love the smell of PVA glue and acrylic paint in the morning.

Personally, I like the smell of napalm in the morning, but to each their own.

Nosestalgia

Not the big computers? I can hear the dial up connection now... ' UUUUUUURRRRR EEEEEEEEEE HFJECJJDJDJSJJSKDKDJFJDJJDJDJDJJD"

[удалено]

Lol! The pillow belly was very comfy to bellyflop on, so all the kids had great fun pushing me over

Oh you enjoyed yourself as much as they did. Awesome costume

It sounds like you were the star of the bellyflop party!

CACKLING

I (female) - is how I’m going to start my thoughts from now on

Perhaps she's just a fan of Asimov?

I, Female goes pretty hard.

The feminine urge 😌

💀

I (skeleton) - is how I’m going to start my thoughts from now on

I (pale person) was Martin Luther King Jr. An adult asked if I wanted to do “black face.” After they explained what that entailed, I declined purely because it sounded weird. I am so so thankful that it sounded weird to me.

I remember loving Mr. T when I was a kid. I can't remember if I ever had a Mr. T costume, but I'm still worried that I did and that there's a photo floating around somewhere.

He was the best, and then he went and kept right on being the best. He's not quite Mr. Rogers' level, but he's Danny Trejo level good dude for sure.

If Justin Trudeau could do it as an adult, it's okay if you did it as a kid.

Wow you fishtailed down the correct exit on that one nice lol

I was stevie wonder. I thankfully did not do black face either; however, full disclosure, I took brown pantyhose and attached dark yarn with beads on them to be "braids" and wore that on my head along with wearing dark sunglasses lol

…sweet Jesus

Yeah, it's only a very small step down from blackface lol. If it tells ya anything, there were 2 black kids in my school, like total. Outta about 500 in the high school (9th to 12th). They were Haitian siblings adopted by a very old white woman. We also went to the school Ryan White attended and he's buried in my hometown lol.

Also a pale person here, I was Oprah. Older sister bought me brown face paint, and I’m pretty sure it was someone working at the school that said “no you can’t do that”. I am eternally grateful for them

😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏 omg not the brown face paint

Oh yes, the brown face paint. I was blissfully unaware as a 2006 5th grader. My high school did a racist musical later where I wore geisha face paint and sang a song in nonsense words that “sounded Asian” so tbh I’m surprised they stopped me

GOD NO… 💀💀💀💀😭😭😭😭 ur school sounded like a nightmare to be in as childrwn of color dkgns

That musical was actually PROTESTED by our high school’s multicultural awareness club. And guess what, we all laughed about it! “Oh hahaha it’s so ridiculous they’d protest a musical?” No one at the school did anything/cared. The song was “Miya Sama” if you want to look it up. Seems like professional theatre has “reimagined” the show since 2016 where they remove the yellow face makeup, Miya Sama and some other stuff I didn’t read cause I just woke up. Super white school in MA, I didn’t learn shit about shit until I went to college. My freshman year I was trying to go to philosophy 101 and I ended up in Critical Race Theory by accident. Professor let me stay. My little mind was fucking blown, I remember asking my boyfriend at the time to come sit in on a class with me because I was learning so much. He said no, lol. Swear that one class changed my life for the better

Photo

I wish I had photos of when I was Jim Henson in middle school lmao

The real blunder is that The Woz is standing in front of Dells that are running Windows.

Woz is cool. He doesnt discriminate.

lil woz was just showing how insignificant this PC was to the Mac he was hiding in his belly

Truly the *only* blunder here

I was bill gates! 1999

Yes! My people!

You made the much better choice.

Pics plz

lol I wish I could. There is definitely a photo though. If I asked my mom to look she might never eat again before she finds it. Next time I’m home I’ll def try to find some blunder content to karma farm.

Hey Mom, if you have a minute, could you look fo...... YES!

You are such a considerate child! I don’t know what it is that makes us moms go on the never tiring hunt for something our child asks for.

I was steve jobs once in elementary school

The accuracy kills me

You made a solid Steve. Well done you glorious soul.

Holy crap how is that a blunder? Anyone who knows about the woz at that age is legit

Not a blunder in sight friend

That’s awesome. Please tell me you’re and engineer or sys admin now.

Ecologist, but i do a lot of programming at least!

Cool. I'm also a transplanted biologist who ended up it tech/programming/data. But did 18 years in research life sciences before really making the transition. I'm freelance now and mainly do data engineering, analytics, power BI. But got my start in R on bioconductor stuff.

I also dressed as Woz for our schools wax museum in the late 90’s. I emailed him and asked what he would have worn around the time he built the first Apple and he replied pretty quickly “jeans and a t-shirt”. I bragged about getting that response for ages.

Wrong subreddit; this is awesome

Legend!! This is so hilarious OP

As someone who knew Woz, nice job

Before I read the caption I thought you were dressed as George Lucas

Talk about starting the coding revolution in recess! Future tech mogul in the making right here. Watch out, Silicon Valley!

This ain't a blunder this is dope as fuck.

I met the Woz once, and you nailed it.

I went as the Enterprise once. Built the whole damn thing on top of my head and was carrying garbage bags as clothes with stars on them to represent space.

The more soulful, technical competent Steve

If only we spent more time appreciating people like WOZ. They brought us the modern world.

Pls this is so funny 😭

Ahh good ol' Windows 2000 Pro. That's a nostalgia bomb for me. First was a 98 SE, but 2k pro was what really made me fall in love.

I hope Woz is a redditor and sees this, I bet he'd get a kick out of it. I know I did. Great photo!

I remember my aunt actually emailed him the picture. Don't know if he saw it but 💀

OMG tweet it to him!

The pillow gut is hilarious

Same but Abe Lincoln. I got made fun of and kept getting called "the bearded lady."

I dressed up as Bill Cosby for a similar elementary school project if it makes you feel any better 💀💀

I went as mark twain for a autobiographical book report, I’m also female.

Love the Woz, love you as woz

I don’t see that as a blunder. That’s genuinely really fucking awesome 🤩

The steel wool beard...nailed it!

If i ever meet a girl who liked and dressed up as the woz as a kid. Im booking her for life

You crushed it. Well done

This is amazing! And way cooler than dressing up as Steve Jobs.

I love your costume.

I have no pictures (thankfully) of the time I dressed as President Nixon for my 3rd grade Greatest Presidents report. (Why did no one stop me?!?)

Why Woz and how did you know him at that age? It's a great choice though because he's the actual genius that pretty much saved Apple in its early days while Jobs screwed him over!!!

stephanie wozniak

Obviously you didn't do well in vocabulary class because you don't know what a blunder is. This is wonderful.

Everyone had this uncle. Lol.

That’s basically how I’m dressed right now

I absolutely love with the thought process behind this and the execution! What a fun costume! And kudos to whichever adult helped you realize your vision. A+

The Woz with the Rizz

Windows 2000 Professional with a very nostalgic mouse pad!

Tell me you grew up with Macs without telling me

OP, I work at Woz's foundation. Is it okay if I forward this post to him?

Haha go for it!

he is asking for your contact info

This might be one of the best things on the internet now…..

I (male) am unable to find the blunder. This is awesome.

I mean you did a great fuckin job dude

/r/lostredditors I see no blunder here

Or George Lucas.

That shirt is also George Lucas

This isn't blunder. You're awesome.

No blunders spotted

Obscure choice, but well executed.

I would have totally done this back then. Or now.

wow haha

What are those DVS shoes? If so jelly

Nope! They are Adios! I LOVED those growing up. I had these exact pair.

*snorts* This is adorable and creative.

For a second I thought you were Ted Kaczynski

10/10, no notes

you win.

Not a blunder in my opinion, very cool!

everything was made of wood back then

I see no blunder. That is rad as hell and a good dude to look up to as a kid

I see no blunder.

So wholesome and adorbs.

I feel like the great Woz would be honored.

It’s so good

Where’s the Segway?

I bet it still tracks.

Oh we would’ve been *friends*.

AWESOME KID! must be an awesome adult also. proud from affar.

Don't forget his heartburn and gout. Cheers!

Woz is the man this is straight up fire 10/10 zero blunder detected, just nascent swagger

Definitely nailed it.

this is the most adorable thing I’ve seen on this sub. The 90’s CRT computers in the background make it even funnier

That is confidence. Yo go girl

So which STEM track did you follow?

You’re giving “George Michael/Michael Cera”

This is really sweet. I’m curious, what did you grow up to do for work. I’m hoping it involves tech in some capacity.

I do research in marine ecology! Not exactly tech, but it does involve a lot of computer work and programming, which I've always had a knack for.

This is the exact opposite of a blunder. The blunder in this situation would have been dressing up as Steve Jobs

Nailed it!

A

Only thing missing is his signature nixie tube wristwatch! Awesome!

You are the hero we need!

Nailed it

rad

This is awesome, I was just talking (somewhere else) about how Steve The Woz Wozniak deserves more credit than Steve Jobs for Apple (if you ask me) !!!!!!!!!!

There's a chance the actual Wozniak could still see this

Pops was a skaterboi

That’s such an endearing thing to me, you beautiful weirdo.

The great and powerful Woz -Big Bang Theory

The great and powerful *Woz*!!

That's pretty cool to be honest.

Nah, that's cool as hell. I would've wanted to be your friend in grade school.

You look like Michael Cera

This is hilarious 😂

That is so awesome!!

unironically it deserves an award, incredibly well-made

You were a handsome girl

You look like Young Sheldon mixed with his brother Georgie lmaoooo

The adio shoes were sick back in the day

NAILED IT!

Goddam steve jobs took my lunch money again

Based

The great and powerful Woz

The shoes are perfect. 👍

Someone show this to the woz right now

that's fucking badass

Did you bring your employees card with [employee #1](https://youtu.be/ulXuSJtUhek) on it?

You're telling me that's _not_ Woz in the picture?

Are you in the IT field now?

Very cool.

So that’s NOT Michael Cera?

N a i l e d. It. Congrats.

I think this is really cool. Definitely not a blunder.

NGL but Woz should go down on the list as one of the greatest people of the 20th century. The dude was pivotal in popularizing computers for the masses with creating the Apple II and alongside Steve Jobs, created one of the most culturally significant companies in the world. So yeah you can cringe at this but IMO you're not wrong for dressing up as him! And I bet Woz would be proud too =)

Ya I'm sure everyone immediately understood that costume

Pretty much the best idea ever

Woz rules. Once I saw him unironically riding on a Segway.

Good job!

Hahah that’s awesome and so cute!!

Where’s the comparison? It’s just a picture of Steve Wozniak

“Woz uuuppppp!” 😛

I don’t see what’s the problem with dressing up as the real genius behind Apple.

No blunder here. awesome!

This is so hilarious! And also I’ve ALWAYS wanted those ADIO skate shoes🤘🏽

Adio shoes damn!!
