Oh, I see.

I remember when Google was a dozen kids above a used bookstore on the 500 block of University Ave in Palo Alto. (Was on the way to my favorite cafe in Palo.)

Now Sergie and Larry have "Lost The Way" and I notice nobody had used "Don't Be Evil" lately.

Wonder why?

HOLLISTER – A 31-year-old Hollister man was killed in a crash over the weekend near the Hollister Municipal Airport, authorities said.

The two-car collision happened around 10:15 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of State Route 156 and San Felipe Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The man was driving a 2016 Honda Civic southbound on San Felipe Road and did not stop for a red light, the CHP said. As he traveled through the intersection, he was hit by a 56-year-old Gonzales man driving a 2001 Kia Spectra westbound on the highway.

The Honda driver died of his injuries at the scene, according to the CHP. The San Benito County Coroner’s Office will release his identity once it is confirmed and his next of kin is notified.

The other driver suffered a cut to his left hand, the CHP said.

As of Tuesday, the CHP did not know if alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash.

Anyone with information related to the case can contact the CHP Hollister-Gilroy area office at 408-427-0700.

SAN JOSE – Goalie Mackenzie Blackwood’s first few minutes with the San Jose Sharks didn’t go as planned.

Blackwood allowed three goals on the first six shots he faced in what became a 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday in the second game of the preseason for both teams.

Blackwood and the Sharks gave up goals to Brett Leason and Olen Zellweger at the 7:26 and 8:08 marks, respectively, of the first period. Leason finished off a Ducks 2-on-1 after the Sharks turned the puck over in the neutral zone, and a shot by Zellweger from just inside the blue line found its way past a screened Blackwood for a 2-0 Anaheim lead.

Former Sharks forward Andrew Agozzino scored a power-play goal at the 12:28 mark of the opening frame, collecting a loose puck after it bounced off the back wall and beating Blackwood, who was perfect the rest of the way and finished with 21 saves.

Forward William Eklund and defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored the Sharks’ only goals.

Eklund one-timed a pass from defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin past Ducks goalie Alex Stalock on a 4-on-3 San Jose man advantage at the 7:23 mark of the second period.

Vlasic’s goal came at the 3:23 mark of the third period, as he came down on a 2-on-1 and fired a wrist shot past Stalock. Vlasic, 36, is entering his 18th season in a Sharks uniform and is second on the team’s all-time games played list with 1,239. Patrick Marleau is first with 1,607.

Center Mikael Granlund was initially slated to play Tuesday but was scratched from the game for unknown reasons prior to the 7 p.m. faceoff.

Now in his third training camp with the Sharks, Eklund is hoping to start the season in the NHL after he spent most of last year with the Barracuda.

Eklund, selected seventh overall by San Jose in the 2021 NHL Draft, had 42 points in 54 AHL games last season before he suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder on a hit during a game in Colorado on March 22, ending his season.

Blackwood, 26, was acquired in late June from the New Jersey Devils for a 2023 sixth-round draft, and promptly signed by the Sharks to a two-year, $4.7 million extension.

After Blackwood battled injuries and some inconsistent play over the last two seasons, the Sharks are hoping the 26-year-old can regain the form he showed in his first three NHL seasons when he went a combined 46-41-12 with a .911 save percentage and 2.83 goals against average in 105 games.

The Sharks and Ducks play again Wednesday night in Anaheim.

SAN FRANCISCO — Kyle Harrison was scratched minutes before his scheduled start, but his replacements filled in nicely to give the Giants a chance at a win on Tuesday night. But the offense didn’t show in a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres.

With the loss, slim postseason pipe dreams have been reduced to a near impossibility with four games remaining on the schedule and one loss separating official elimination. They play the Padres once more before a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers to close a disappointing season.

This loss was ugly. Padres starter Seth Lugo gave up just two hits heading into the ninth as he vied for his first career complete game — but manager Bob Melvin pulled him two outs into the ninth after Luis Matos drew a walk and Thairo Estrada reached on a ground ball. Closer Josh Hader struck out Wilmer Flores to end the game.

One of their three hits against Lugo came at a cost. J.D. Davis’ doubled off the wall and tried to stretch it to a three-bagger when right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. bobbled the ball, but Tatis’ relay to Kim was quick and Davis overshot third base and was tagged out.

Davis rolled over his shoulder awkwardly and was removed from the game.

John Brebbia started as the opener in Harrison’s place and gave up a two-out solo home run to Juan Soto in the first inning. Alex Wood came in as the featured pitcher and ran into trouble in the third inning, first allowing a single to Brett Sullivan.

Wood fell awkwardly trying to scoop up a check-swing ground ball by Xander Boegarts that resulted in a hit to put runners on the corners with one out. Second baseman Thairo Estrada’s throwing error on Ha-Seong Kim’s grounder scored Sullivan to make it 2-0.

Soto hit his second home run of the game off Ryan Walker, a two-run shot to make it 4-0.

The Warriors remain eager in their pursuit to bring a WNBA team to the Bay Area but an agreement has yet to be finalized.

Golden State has spent the last year meeting with WNBA executive about potentially being part of the league’s plans to expand. This news orgnaization previously reported the Warriors even hosted the WNBA on a site visit in San Francisco within the last 12 months.

But a team spokesperson said Tuesday evening those “productive conversations” have yet to materialize into an actual deal.

Meanwhile, The Athletic reported Tuesday night that the Warriors were “close” to bringing a women’s professional basketball franchise to the Bay Area, with an announcement potentially coming as soon as early October. The team, however, pushed back, saying “it would be premature to assume any potential agreement has been finalized.”

“[The Warriors] look forward to the possibility of being a part of the league’s expansion plans,” the Warriors said in a statement.

Golden State declined further comment at this time.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob, who previously owned the American Basketball League’s San Jose Lasers, told this news organization in July that he believes San Francisco “would be a phenomenal place” for a WNBA team. And WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert previously said it “doesn’t seem right” that the Bay is without a WNBA team.

If the Warriors were to get an expansion team, their WNBA counterpart would practice at the Warriors’ Oakland facility and play at Chase Center, sources said.
