I write mostly about travel (been living nomadically the last 5+ years, currently in Asia), random thoughts I have (eg. on mindset, politics, occasionally even touchy topics like dating and sex), and updates on side projects I'm working on. I originally started the blog as a place to rant about wage slavery and the need for universal basic income, but I've already said everything I wanted to say there (also that topic is very depressing) so now I focus on other things. I'm a software engineer but I don't talk about tech here (currently using my Reddit / HN alternative as a pseudo-blog as a I build it out https://zsync.xyz/) - any serious technical writing I'd rather post to my personal blog under my real name or maybe Twitter.

I try to be as unfiltered and polarizing as possible - not because I'm an asshole, but because that's the type of content I personally enjoy the most. I don't plan out posts, just brain dump and never look at it again. Here are some posts:

- Tokyo Trip Reflections – The Nicest City https://jsavage.xyz/2023/06/30/tokyo-trip-reflections-the-ni...

- Left Bali, now in Hong Kong https://jsavage.xyz/2023/05/30/left-bali-now-in-hong-kong/ (at the end I question the conflation of love and sex)

Was going to post some older posts as well but looking back at them now some of them look like they were written by a different person, which is cool because it shows how much I've progressed.
