Not letting me edit so ill post it here.

Most well known for his collaboration with Steve Jobs on the creation of Apple Computer, Wozniak has contributed to many other companies and ventures. Before completely recovering from a plane crash, Wozniak did not immediately return to work at Apple. He sponsored two US Festivals to celebrate evolving technologies. Wozniak also founded a venture named CL 9, which worked to bring about the first programmable universal remote control to the market in 1987. Later, in 2001 he founded Wheels of Zeus which worked on wireless GPS technology. Wozniak later went on to publish his autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It.
