Isi and I started today with kibbles this morning at 8:30am, following a good workout to start the work-week out. The most obvious challenge at the moment is how to meter the food properly. 5-6 cups of dry dog food is quite a lot now that I’m ingesting it. It also requires [...]

On Tuesday we really, really start the dog food experiment. We’ve delayed long enough and the energy that persuaded us to get into this was starting to wane.

Ze Frank is making a cult and it’s called Sports Racer. The most ridiculous stream of knowledge and comedy interwine in a delicate fabric each day for a broad array of both old and new viewers. As a new viewer, there’s even a short segment at the beginning to welcome you. You [...]

I spent the greater part of this week in Newark, NJ where we have two offices - the other in Jersey City on The Hudson River. It was my first time to New Jersey and I got the opportunity to visit Manhattan for another first. I was prepared for more dangers than actually [...]

Today is a day I may well regret for a year to come. I introduced Balthazar, the three-year-old, to cheese fries. This marks the end of most any other food, I’m sure.

A new new reader of Gradin.com, Donna Hadden, was recently so inspired by the Kibbles experiment that she wrote a poem about it.

Earlier, I said dog days are coming and I meant it. It has taken a while to get everything worked out, but Monday begins something a little different. A friend and I will commit ourselves to eight weeks of dry dog food-eating experimentation for the betterment of mankind. I know you have [...]
