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…

The Struggle Within: refining and redefining purpose
Read more: The Struggle Within: refining and redefining purposeThe original plan for my trip to Canada fell through, but now I’m heading to Vancouver Island for a special event. The rare Martin Mars aircraft is making its final flight, and I’m determined to be there. Despite struggling with depression and motivation, I’m pushing myself to explore and find my mojo again.

Navigating the World: Reflections on Paper Maps vs Online Maps
Read more: Navigating the World: Reflections on Paper Maps vs Online MapsI just did a fair amount of reflecting on a deeper topic: the difference between nostalgia and genuinely remembering the things in our past that were better. It eventually devolved into thoughts about paper maps. It’s interesting as a topic because there are plenty of people who never had to learn paper maps, so they are useless; little more than…

Road Trip Or Pre-Trip..? the story so far
Read more: Road Trip Or Pre-Trip..? the story so farDon’t ask me, man… I just work here. There is little to update, as the last week has just been a long interstate burn. 500-mile days for three days straight, then hanging out on a cot recovering. I’m at the jump-off point of my 2024 road trip, even though I put about 2,500 miles on the odometer so far. That…

Back on The Road
Read more: Back on The RoadExcited and tired at the same time. That’s the best way to describe my first week on the road. I’m not sure this part can truly qualify as a road trip, since I’m trying to get to the “start” in Maine as quickly as possible, so I’ve been mobbing up the interstate and putting in long days. But the interstate…

The Internet Lament: Is This Really Who We Want To Be?
Read more: The Internet Lament: Is This Really Who We Want To Be?Look, we can’t really blame the internet for our problems. By design, it is a bunch of programming designed to provide us with information. Whether a website, search engine, database, or some hellscape like Tik Tok, the internet is trying to connect us to the information we are seeking. The unintended consequences are many, but the one I’d like to…

Backtracking
Read more: Backtracking“…Each day is a question mark. Sometimes we can turn that into an exclamation point, other days we just make it a comma. One day it will be a period: full stop. Until then I just keep looking at the blank pages and try to fill them with something useful, because every time I let the malaise take hold, the…

Open Letter: Bimota Should Build an Anthony Gobert Edition Motorcycle
Read more: Open Letter: Bimota Should Build an Anthony Gobert Edition MotorcycleConsider this an open letter to anyone affiliated with Kawasaki, Bimota, or World Superbike (WSBK). The thrust of my intention is to remind the world at large of Anthony Gobert’s achievements for Bimota, and to suggest Bimota use their re-entry into WSBK as a perfect opportunity to not only create a new Gobert-edition motorcycle for sale to the public, but…

Thoughts About Roads
Read more: Thoughts About RoadsRoads are a world-changing technology that we humans take entirely for granted. The world shrinks because of them, but it’s hard to see without close inspection. We don’t really notice their impact because they have been around long before we were born and have already shaped so much of our societies and world views. You have to either use a…

Remembering Louis Gossett Jr.
Read more: Remembering Louis Gossett Jr.Considering the amount of work Louis Gossett Jr did in film I suppose there are a dozen different things to remember him for. He did a solid job as Chappy Sinclair in “Iron Eagle,” which got a 2nd and 3rd movie made despite the whole thing being a bit silly. He is likely best know playing opposite Richard Gere in…
