This evening I worked on moving the Adonaikido resource pages. Other updates were made to the ResourcesForLife.com website. Some of the changes were minor such as correcting links on pages that went to relocated pages. The old address/location of the Adonaikido page now redirects automatically to the new page. This had to be done by manually editing an index.htm file using the Taco HTML Edit software and Cyberduck FTP program. The latest significant updates to the site are listed on the What's New page. After these updates were finished, I posted my personal update for June 2008. It's late now, and I'm ready to pack things up and ride my bicycle home to get some sleep. I've been catching up on a backlog of email and other work which has caused me to be up late for the past few nights. I still have hundreds of emails in my inbox which need responding to, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. I hope to slowly get back on my early-to-bed and early-to-rise schedule.

At my desk

I returned from my short walk around 4:10 PM, and began working on updating the ResourcesForLife.com website. I forgot to upload a photo at the time.

Back at my desk

Riding to the Iowa City Main Post Office

Peddling the bike was not smooth for some reason, but the problem was quickly resolved at Geoff's Bike Shop.

At My Desk Getting Ready to go Online

Riding Across the Burlington Street Bridge

While riding I saw a can of spraypaint floating down the river.

Ready to leave for downtown

This morning I've been primarily working on editing the website and writing a few emails. I just got back from getting the laundry and realized I had a few missed calls. I'm now packing things up to leave for downtown.

Reviewing and Updating the Website

Planning to post personal update and Resources for Life News later
today.

Breakfast

Breakfast consists of Nature's Plus Source of Life Energy Shake (two scoops of powder mixed with 300 ml of water) and Kashi GoLean Cereal. This simple meal contains more protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients than what an entire day's worth of typical meals would provide. An additional benefit of the cereal and energy shake is that these items can be stored for an extended period of time without refrigeration (saving energy) and their preparation requires no energy (for cooking or heating).
