HOStiles


I figure I would do a quick post, since I found a bunch of old awesome websites and blogs on the History Of Science (hence, HOS). It was actually interesting searching for these, as I don't visit them regularly. But what I was able to do, was head to my gmail, search my buddy's name (with whom I share nerdy stuff), and hunt through old emails.

I was using my Republic of Letters, the copies of "important" research notes and personal interactions with the leading nerds of my life. Granted it is probably a stretch to compare this quick gmail search to the long distance communication networks of the 17th and 18th century philosophes, but the analogy works for me. And I'm especially thankful that I didn't have to hand copy all of my correspondence to send it to different nerds and save my responses to their queries.

Enjoy, nerds.
