On the day of #AlexTrebek's final @Jeopardy, my condolences to so many. I liked him enormously In his memory, I'd like to suggest that Sony permanently rename Stage 10 in Culver City—the studio where the show is taped—the Alex Trebek Stage RT if you agree #RIPAlexTrebek @SPTV

Remind me never to eat at the Tadich Grill in SF. Owners have a sad back story involving former Raider Gene Upshaw: wpo.st/N89j0

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

Think you're missing someone. RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Molina would be first NL catcher to win MVP since Bench did so twice in 1970 and 1972.

Interesting question raised by follower. Forget contracts. Would you trade Sandoval for David Wright? #sfgiants.

Always have love for the @Orioles, but I hear San Francisco has a pretty good baseball team too. I've got room for an NL team to root for.
