…that Venice, CA is one of the few places in the world where you can live on the beach and be a productive member of a cosmopolitan city?

Can’t avoid that California feeling

Today I was biking home on the Venice boardwalk, after having a delicious meal with a delicious friend who grew up in Portland and went to school on the east coast. I couldn’t help but grin.

I haven’t tried this yet but it looks delicious (from TUAW):
Do you like the way that radio introduces music before you listen to a song? Do you miss that kind of personalized introduction in iTunes? SpotDJ offers a new way to bring the human warmth and information richness of radio intro spots into your iTunes listening experience.
To get started, you’ll need to sign up for a SpotDJ account and then download either the Mac or Windows client. After installation, you launch the client and log into your SpotDJ account. The software automatically detects when you’re listening to music in iTunes, and adds “spots” between tracks.
If the mood so takes you, you can join in the DJ club by recording your own spots and uploading them to SpotDJ. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the available spots I listened to. SpotDJ offers a star rating system for spots to help promote the better spots and DJs and to put limits on the bad ones.
This is Web 2.0 in all its glory. Social computing applied to iTunes.
A beautiful thing

Delicious, 12-4-06

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.
