An interesting interview with busy Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was published a few days ago by Lifehacker.com, in which the Woz reveals a few of his productivity tips—some of which are surprising.

For instance, he says the biggest benefit he gets comes from his Segway, which he uses everywhere he goes. Another tool he relies on: a Verizon wireless card since he doesn’t want to depend on hotel Wi-Fi. He has only one computer (a MacBook Pro). He travels with both an iPhone and a Blackberry, although he uses neither for email unless he has to (he prefers answering mail via a big keyboard). Perhaps the biggest surprise is that he manages his email with discontinued software (Eudora); it works for him, he’s got it set up the way he likes, with every feature he needs; he sees no reason to change.

There’s much more: how he uses RSS feeds; his preferred Browser; his work with Fusion-io; cloud-based computing; hacking. He also has advice for young techies starting out, which basically boils down to Know the Technology.

It’s a good read about a likable, highly successful guy.
