In intellectual terms, I'm currently interested in the fusion of Asian and Western history, reading James Clavell's Asian Saga now, after watching Shogun recently. David Graeber's books are also on my list once I finish the Saga. I've read Bullshit Jobs and Debt by him but I've heard good things about The Dawn of Everything, particularly how European Enlightenment ideas might have actually been influenced by what they saw from Native Americans.

In terms of projects I'm working on, I'm traveling currently and it's a pain to track how much money I've spent due to needing to convert foreign currencies, so I'm building a simple app for that.
