About

My name is Jonathan Buchholz and I’m a sophomore at Middlebury College studying International Politics & Economics. I’m on a quest to understand the world a little more fully with each passing day, so if you have a lead on something you think I might find interesting (books, articles, websites, movies, etc.), drop me a line at [email protected]!

Here are some of my affections:

• The Deep Life
  • Cal Newport reminds me to live and work more deeply and gives practical examples on how implement his advice. I recommend reading his books — they’re a refreshing take on “productivity.”
• The Economist
  • Thank you, Middlebury College, for giving us access to The Economist. “The world in brief” blows Wikipedia’s current events portal out of the water. Espresso (which includes “The world in brief”) is free for students!
• Strava
  • Social media that makes my life better, not worse, and pushes me to become a better endurance athlete

Why does this site look so boring?

Simplicity and speed considerations dictated the construction of buchh.org. If you’re interested, you can take a look at the source code.
