Geeks Unite OUTSIDE of the Coffee Shop

By Jilly:

Fresh off the press from Daily Candy

The Hat Factory is a “first-rate co-working space” a space shared by a number of people to pool workplace resources. It’s fully equipped with WiFi, DSL, common desk space, and a kitchen. Enjoy a cup of joe on comfy couches. You can keep small personal belongings in lockers and easy Public Transportation plus street parking makes it even more convenient.

Hat Factory sounds like a great place for independent types to get work done and/or meet others who have flexible work schedules. I wish I was there this week.

Deets:

$200 a month
open for daily rentals if you just want to try it out.

Homes on Esprit Park

We are getting close to the Fall of ‘07 (the time that the new 900 Minnesota Street project is supposed to “open”). It’s not too often that you see a new SF development (especially one that is not in a giant high rise and is marketing itself as “local”) advertised in the Powell Street Bart station, maybe it’s a sign of the times?

900 Minnesota Street; interiors & finishes

900 Minnesota Street a.k.a. Homes on Esprit Park is a project that is blending the history of the Dogpatch neighborhood with stylish design while creating a low impact on the environment. This is being accomplished by converting an existing structure (In 1906 the structure was built to be the Schilling Wine Sellers and was later used as the Esprit company headquarters) and by careful choice of materials. Additinally, the developers are planning for commercial business and open space, making this project a welcome addition to the Central Waterfront.

The folks over at the marketing department for the Homes on Esprit Park have unveiled some new detailed images of what the project and units will look like and it’s definitely worth a peak. We’ve included links to individual units below.

The sales office is expected to open in early autumn at 900 Minnesota Street.

We’ll keep you posted with further developments.

900 Minnesota St. Revisited

Over a year ago we started to share some information on the newest development in the Central Waterfront/Dogpatch neighborhood–Homes on Esprit Park. Recently a new website for the project went live and it features neighborhood information, building and neighborhood history, project overview, floor plans and it has a slight insight into pricing (homes ranging from the $600,000s to high one millions).

Sales office opens this Fall if you have any interest…

Dildo Factory

vixen.gif

A dildo factory in the Dogpatch!?!?!

“Vixen Creations was started in 1992 by Marily Bishara, who was a Bay Area IT consultant who literally saw a hole in the sex toy market that needed to be, ahem, filled. The sex toy market was (and still is) full of poor-quality toys.”

“Because it’s San Francisco we do things delightfully differently here. We don’t have just any dildo factory — we have one driven by a message of sexual pleasure and health, in a drop-dead gorgeous aluminum and curved wall warehouse in Dogpatch, staffed by people with more than a spring in their step and the best working conditions and employee benefits this side of the dot-com boom.”
