Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ik wilde een fietslampje kopen bij de Hema, maar twijfel nu toch gezien de afmeting 010
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 27/09/2026More than just a history of Russia, this excellent book is also a history of Russian literature, ecology, environmentalism, etc. Recommended! Book 40 (or thereabout) of this year. 261
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Picked up this book at the Harvard book store. 10 pages into it, already like it very much. 020
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It very much looks like this: c8.alamy.com/comp/FBKNX3/... 120
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Very interesting. I was trying to find more in this book, lot on Stokes, but unfortunately not a word on fluorescence. Not a topic in the book.😩 110
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 29/07/2026A new addition to ever expanding history of pH library. #chemsky #histSTM 050
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Mijn wederhelft kwam met 3 prachtige exemplaren van de Generaal (met handtekening van Peter de Smet) thuis. Leukste strip ooit! 120
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 23/06/2026This nicely describes it I think: (From Nicholas Spencer’s excellent Magisteria) 070
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 18/06/2026The Wadden Sea as seen from the east side of Ameland, beautiful day today. 2863
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 16/06/2026The beach was quite empty today. Not very warm, but nice and quiet 130
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Done. Read this in German, English title is Fateful hours. Everyone with a little interest in history and our current society should read this. Brilliant. 230
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 29/05/2026The latest addition to my history of pH library. At some point that, in the meantime, large collection should lead to a paper/book. Note by the way that Schwabe in 1953 is still using a different notation than Mansfield Clark in the late 20’s claimed would be the standard. #histSTM #chemsky 030
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Stretching it a bit, but Banville’s Quirke series is good (so are his other books by the way) and stretching it even further, I enjoyed reading this: 000
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Finished Kit Chapman’s The Age of Alchemy. Well written; even if the author cuts a few corners here and there and cannot resist trying to be funny in his footnotes. The book places the development of chemistry in a historic context. Excellent introduction after which one could read Lawrence Principe 160
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I am using the day off to reorganise my bookshelves. I get distracted all the time because I start reading. Hope to finish the reorg before I have to travel Sunday… 060
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Saw Robert Jon and the Wreck tonight in Amsterdam. They were amazing; one of the best concerts I have seen the last few years. Go and see them if you get a chance! 020
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Used the extra day off to finish this excellent book on Gutenberg and book printing. Highly recommended! #HPS #hst 130
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Finished Candice Millard’s Destiny of the Republic; a fascinating political and medical history (And scientific for Alexander Bell’s attempt to find the bullet). 010
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 23/04/2026A first edition of Galileo’s Dialogo as seen in Villa Farnesina in Rome. 130
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Spotted today: L’Amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle #Rome 030
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 17/04/2026And there is this book, which I believe also exists in English: 000
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Not necessarily my favorite unit of measurement, but definitely the strangest and most flexible unit: the don-percentage; changes whenever you want to, can be negative when mentioned as positive, whatever you like! @andrechemist.bsky.social @atrupar.com 020
Timoer @timoer.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I now own a fuzzy logic rice cooker… Curious what the fuzzy logic part means. 110
