I started to keep this weblog on August 19, 2002. Since then I have published 1880 postings and various longer texts. I have not set any big targets for this weblog. This is just a public notebook. During these six months I have published elsewhere about twenty articles, ten columns, and six book reviews. In about one third of these I have used ideas and material originating from this weblog. Thus I believe that keeping a weblog can boost your productivity as a writer (at least it doesn't seem to diminish the output). I wonder if other bloggers have similar experiences?

The brains of special forces soldiers are different than ordinary soldiers: "Special Forces soldiers have neurological differences that make them more resilient to post-traumatic stress disorder than the average soldier, say researchers. [...] A study of soldiers based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, found that Green Berets were much less likely to suffer symptoms of PTSD after a week of gruelling exercises that simulated being captured and interrogated by the enemy."
