My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
Read more: My New Project: Ride>Eat>RepeatViewing the human experience through the foods we share. I’ve been grappling with things for a long time now. Johnny Killmore as a “brand” isn’t really a brand. It’s job is to say “this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me.” It does that job, but the identity isn’t the same as a brand. I’ve been…

Empty Reflections
Read more: Empty ReflectionsI just saw this article on the BBC’s website about a photograph. It was eventually used by an article called “The Big Empty,” which shared photos of how empty things were during the pandemic and lockdowns. This particular picture was taken in February or 2020, very early on, but in Beijing, where people were staying home even before the lockdowns…

Keep Them Doggies Rollin’
Read more: Keep Them Doggies Rollin’Sense of accomplishment is a funny thing. We can get it from summiting a mountain or fitting into our pre-Christmas skinny clothes.

Biker B Movies: Masters of Menace
Read more: Biker B Movies: Masters of MenaceI want to start my own little column. Part movie review, part film history, and part stroll down memory lane.

They barely held the Wright Flyer of the ground and only managed about 120ft, using a sort of catapult that launched them into the wind. The Boeing 747 — itself over 50yrs old — is actually more…
