This is Simply Jonathan, online writing habitat for Jonathan Holst. In here, you may find content divided into three main categories: links, notes and essays. The links are to external content of interest; the notes are small thoughts and ponderings; the essays are longer, more thought-through entries, often debating a subject thoroughly.
