And it also has me thankful for what he has provided me in terms productivity, entertainment and communication.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been thinking about&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think a computer geek has ever received such a public reaction upon his passing. That honor is usually reserved for rock stars, actors and royalty. Heck, even the President of the United States made a tribute to this great man.</p>
<p>And even though Mr. Jobs is no longer with us, his legacy of great products will continue.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s where many of us fail.</p>
<p>We want to make a difference and be appreciated by our audience.</p>
<p>But we erroneously think that appreciation is BECAUSE of us and us only.</p>
<p>Thank you, Mr. Jobs, for making sure we can enjoy iPhone 5, 6, 7, 8 and beyond.</p>

<p>Is it chicken? Or pieces in the style of chicken? If so, pieces of what? Perhaps the ad dudes should have made sure the fine print on the label showed in the advertisement and even then, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m up for eating it. <img src='http://aliceseba.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Good news though. Less than 3% fat and only 90 calories per serving!</p>

It&#8217;s a problem I had since I was a baby. I can&#8217;t turn left.</em>&#8221; ~ Zoolander</p>
<p>I loved the movie Zoolander. I think I&#8217;ve seen it about 10 or 11 times. It was on TV at the gym the other day and man, did it make my workout a whole lot better and faster.</p>
<p>As I watched, it came to that scene where Matilda rushes Zoolander away after the walk-off. Hansel won the walk-off by resorting to pulling his underwear out of his pants, but Zoolander claims to win, &#8220;All [Hansel] had to do was turn left.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zoolander goes onto say that he&#8217;s not an ambiturner and that he&#8217;s never been able to turn left. A potentially fatal flaw for a runway model, but certainly a flaw created in one&#8217;s mind.</p>
<p>I think a lot of us run our businesses as though we aren&#8217;t ambiturners. We keep doing the same things over and over again &#8211; just because we&#8217;ve always done them. We see ways we can adapt and change, but we avoid them because they seem complicated, too expensive or somehow pull us out of our comfort zones.</p>
<p>But see, that&#8217;s a problem. It keeps us from being more productive and profitable. And let&#8217;s face it, if our competition is an ambiturner, it might just mean we lose the walk off &#8211; and seriously, I&#8217;m not prepared to pull underwear out of my butt to win. <img src='http://aliceseba.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(<a href="http://twitter.com/disqus">@disqus</a> flaw?) Hmmm&#8230;I just made a post on a blog that uses Disqus and I logged into Twitter to comment. To my surprise, my photo wasn&#8217;t me at all!</p>
<p><a href="http://aliceseba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/discus.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-205" title="discus" src="http://aliceseba.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/discus.jpg" alt="" width="571" height="509" /></a></p>
<p>About a year ago , I changed my username from <a href="http://twitter.com/imsweetie">@imsweetie</a> to <a href="http://twitter.com/aliceseba">@aliceseba</a>, but in the time I&#8217;ve been <a href="http://twitter.com/aliceseba">@aliceseba</a>,, I&#8217;ve never had that profile picture.Why would I? It&#8217;s not a picture of me!</p>
<p>Why doesn&#8217;t Disqus take your current profile picture? And how do they go back to an old profile picture that was never part of my @aliceseba account at all? Curioser and curioser.</p>
<p><strong>Added to clarify how this picture was never in my account:</strong> My account used to have the @imsweetie name. About 1 year ago, changed my name to @aliceseba.com and claimed the @imsweetie name through another, completely different, account. I then let Melissa Ingold (pictured above) access to the @imsweetie account and at some point, she added that picture. That picture was NEVER in the account I am currently using, under the @aliceseba or @imsweetie name.</p>
