<p>Much-revered Yountville restaurant <a href="http://www.opentable.com/the-french-laundry">the French Laundry</a> posts a new quote in the kitchen every day, one meant to inspire and move the staff. Twitter cofounder <a href="https://twitter.com/jack/status/267517544368316416/photo/1">Jack Dorsey had one of his tweets honored as the quote of the day</a> on Sunday night. It reads, <em>"Organizations thrive when their people have a shared purpose guiding their work. If the entire world had a shared purpose, what would it be?"</em></p>

<p>General Manager <a href="http://blog.zagat.com/2012/04/not-so-new-blood-in-at-french-laundry.html">Michael Minnillo</a> implemented the nascent quote of the day feature, according to French Laundry. The constructive quotes are a regular occurrence and change per meal service. (The revolving quotes compliment Thomas Keller's "Sense of Urgency" placard permenantly adhered under the doorway clock inside the kitchen. Such the wordsmiths over there!) </p>

<p>Furthermore, Minnillo and Dorsey came up with the corresponding #EatItThenTweetIt hashtag together over the weekend. </p>

<p>Below, two very important <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=EatItThenTweetIt&amp;src=typd">#EatItThenTweetIt</a> moments:</p>

Jeff Hunt of <a href="http://www.munidiaries.com/">Muni Diaries</a> forwarded us this beautiful map adorned with literary quotes that have shaped our beloved San Francisco, which was created by <a href="http://themilkmachine.com/">Ian Huebert</a>.

<p>What are notables saying about the <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/05/26/prop_8_upheld_rules_california_stat.php">California State Supreme Court upholding prop. 8</a>? Let's find out.</p>

<p><strong>Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D, San Francisco):</strong></p>

<blockquote>Today's Supreme Court opinion upholding Prop. 8 is a stark reminder that the struggle for equality and justice must and will go on. We have come a long way since the days when Harvey Milk and I fought against the discrimination of the Briggs Initiative and Proposition 8 was no different. Harvey's message then was one of hope and we can see how that message is making progress throughout the country - five states now embrace marriage equality and several more are on the verge. </blockquote>

<p>The 49ers venture into the wilds of Jersey this Sunday to war with the New York American football Giants.</p>

<p><strong>* San Francisco vs. New York Giants<br>
Sunday, October 21, 2007. 1:00 PM, PST.<br>
Week 07<br>
The Battle Of Old Blood</strong></p>

<p><font size="1"><i>* Photo of Cody Pickett being pursued by NYG linemen via SFGate</i></font></p>

<p>Both teams are stumble-bum flawed at this juncture; the Niners with their horrifically mis-called offensive scheme, the Jints with their utterly undermanned defensive secondary, and both teams with a wave of injuries.</p>

<p>Hoo-boy, the only sure thing 'bout this game is that it's sure to be uglifitateous.</p>

<p>Dang; the level of play wasn't always this way between the 49ers and the Giants.  Throughout the 1980s, whenever these two franchises met, it was a toe-to-toe match of two great forces:  <strong>Bill Parcells</strong>' big-stick powerhouser Giants and <strong>Bill Walsh</strong>'s adaptive, keen-hewn Niners. </p>

<p>We remember those Giants of the 80s:  The cold, steely eyes of <strong>Phil Simms</strong>.  The maniacal thrash of <strong>Lawrence Taylor</strong>.  The mustachioed guttiness of <strong>Jeff Hostetler</strong>. The flea-like skittering of <strong>Dave Meggett</strong>.  Whoever-it-was-this-week that Parcells plugged in at halfback banging the ball behind that huge offensive line (which would include <strong>Jumbo Elliot</strong>, of course).  <strong>Pepper Johnson</strong>, <strong>Leonard Marshall</strong>, and that damned <strong>Jim Burt</strong> on defense.  Burt might have picked up a ring in 89 with the Niners, but we never really accepted the idea of having him on the team after that monstrous hit he put on <strong>Joe Montana</strong> in 1986.</p>
