Delicious, 12-4-06
bicoastal December 4th, 2006
Two years ago a learned professor with a distinguished beard described one of my policy proposals as “delicious.” It was one of the highlights of my year, not only because the compliment meant so much coming from him, but because it was such a juicy expression. The kind of thing that only a non-native English speaker might invent.
My brain and heart have been particularly attuned to deliciousness in the last few weeks, and as I thought about them at compline last night (itself a delicious experience) I thought I’d introduce a regular feature to Bicoastal that highlights the delicious.
Mmmmmmm, delicious:
- Command-Space –> Launchbar (W)
- Bell pepper, baby bella, gouda & shallots omelettes with rosemary potatoes (W)
- Incense, candles, gothic church, choir, Jews under cover of darkness, apple cider (E)
- People watching from restaurant balconies (E)
- Beautiful packaging (W/E)
- Recommended music (W/E)
- Crisp December (E)
* “Delicious” is a west coast word, but making lists is an east coast activity.
gmail is delicious: but west coast or east coast? or is its bicoastality what makes it truly, truly great.
Good question Charlie. Software produced on the west coast is a very interesting case, to be covered in a future post.
