About

My name is Jonathan Buchholz and I’m a first-year student at Middlebury College on a quest to understand the world (ambitious, I know!). 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, for giving us access to The Economist. “The world in brief” is exactly what I had been looking for: the most essential developments in current events, written with as much brevity as possible. It blows Wikipedia’s current events portal out of the water.
• The Pudding
  • It seems that every time I visit pudding.cool, there’s an incredible new interactive web-based story with data that inspires me to be more creative. It’s hard to explain what they do — maybe check out the site?!

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.
