I use my blogs as commonplace books, storehouses of memorabilia. In this sense commonplace does not mean trite, but goes back to its Latin root, meaning a point with general application. Shephanim is a collection of commonplaces in the strict sense, while Sarregouset is more of a clearinghouse. I find each post worthy of remembering, and maybe you will too.
Of course, these days most salesmen are peddling pain relief medicine.
