I don’t usually post about work-related stuff on this blog, but I’ll make an exception in this case: The site I’ve been working on for the past seven months:
http://workbeast.com
just went live on Monday!
Workbeast is (currently) a social network for SAP consultants and managers who hire SAP consultants. The traditional recruiting model is expensive, slow, and doesn’t give managers any confidence that the candidate will actually be qualified for the position. We’re improving on that by offering the lowest markup in the industry and leveraging the speed and power of social networks to provide competent candidates faster than ever before.
Although we’re focusing on SAP professionals right now, we plan to expand to other specialties very soon… watch this space!
Finally, I want to give a shout out to our awesome development partner, Hashrocket… you guys did an stellar job!

Before I get into it, though, I need to atone for an omission from my last MSF review: Lung Shan, the Chinese restaurant that hosts MSF, has a very limited amount of glassware suitable for the proper enjoyment of wine (i.e. the kind where you can get your nose into the bowl of the glass when you sip.) So you have three options: Read the rest of this entry »

Finally, finally, finally. I’ve wanted to dine at Slanted Door for literally years, but somehow, the opportunity never presented itself. (And yet, Tracey’s eaten there at least three times in a little more than a year since we’ve moved back. Doubleyouteeeff?) Today, though, with just an hour and a half until showtime at the Embarcadero Center, we took a chance and scurried over to the Ferry Building sans reservations.
And our gamble paid off, but just barely… Read the rest of this entry »
