Ryan Berg

I write a blog, link to interesting sites, update statuses, and work on fun projects. More about me.

I am a user experience designer in New York, NY. I also do freelance web design and development.

@notasausage Don't forget "potential for larger, future projects."

Trying http://bluebirdapp.com/ Has a lot of room for improvement, but it's a great start. Templates for its themes use a Django-like syntax!

April 1st 2009, 11:56 a.m.

Accidentally splashed a bunch of walkers in the office complex as I drove by. Feeling guilty. Laughing bit, but overall feeling guilty.

April 1st 2009, 12:35 p.m.

I wish Blubird wouldn't jump to the top of my tweets list every time new tweets come in...

@aarontbell Floyd may not have immediate success, but when his 13yr old recruits are old enough, watch out PAC-10

April 2nd 2009, 10:52 a.m.

@luchauer Downloaded Stars & Stripes yesterday. I'm definitely liking it more than the Grey Album

April 2nd 2009, 11:07 a.m.

@webfaction Congrats on the new redesign, it's a big step up! Any chance we can get some js-based sorting on the affiliates panel page?

April 2nd 2009, 12:17 p.m.

Heading home for the night.

April 2nd 2009, 6:40 p.m.

It's a Five Guys Burgers and Fries kinda Friday

April 3rd 2009, 12:18 p.m.

@comcastcares That rabbit commercial is so much better than the freecreditreport-knockoff comcasttown commercials

April 3rd 2009, 4:45 p.m.

@kylehoedl It was my first Five Guys trip since February. My arteries were crying out for punishment.

April 3rd 2009, 5:35 p.m.

Almost made it through my to-do list. I can't work any longer today, so I'm starting my weekend.

April 3rd 2009, 6:19 p.m.

@jcroft Ride Wit Me - much more potential to get the crowd into it

April 4th 2009, 12:04 p.m.

@dannydb I am envious of your Steel Panther experience

April 4th 2009, 12:01 p.m.

@mtrier That's great. Much better than the John Mayer-inspired remix

April 4th 2009, 12:14 p.m.

@nicksergeant I'm hoping to write a theme tomorrow. Can we get a screenshot of yours before downloading?

April 4th 2009, 2:18 p.m.

Just got a great chunk of work done on the upcoming upgrade to https://djangofriendly.com Time for some fresh air

April 4th 2009, 2:49 p.m.

@nicksergeant Ah, there we go. Looks great! Makes me really wish we could get the features of Bluebird or others in a Twitterrific window

April 4th 2009, 2:48 p.m.

@BrendonCurtis CBSs HD feed all tournament has looked little better than an internet stream.

April 4th 2009, 8:54 p.m.

Watching the final four games at Wild Wing Cafe

April 4th 2009, 8:58 p.m.

@jcroft are you goin with ride wit me? Or saving it for next weekend when I'm in town

April 4th 2009, 10:13 p.m.

@derek I was just recalling Cole's dominance of Tyler, myself. There's a great video compilation on YouTube

April 4th 2009, 10:15 p.m.

@jcroft staying at a hotel dwntwn. No idea if we'll be near your stomping grounds, but hoping to check out the bar scene on sat night

April 5th 2009, 12:27 a.m.

Sitting on the patio at Urban. Staring directly at the old city hot dog cart. This will test my willpower, hardcore.

April 5th 2009, 12:32 a.m.

@patrickbeeson How crowded was the Tail of the Dragon yesterday?

April 5th 2009, 1:16 p.m.

Finally downloaded the Mirror's Edge demo, and loved it. Is the entire game as satisfying, or does the novelty wear off?

April 5th 2009, 1:28 p.m.

The irony of Microsoft's latest commercials: A software company placing zero value on the software that runs each computer.

April 5th 2009, 2:09 p.m.

@jcroft Also, we're a software company but you should by a computer solely on the specs you may or may not need. Don't think about software.

April 5th 2009, 2:33 p.m.

@jmorgenstern Thanks for the link to the Royals section. I'm really liking the Greinke article

April 5th 2009, 3:17 p.m.

Bummed tomorrow's White Sox opener has been postponed due to cold temperature, high winds, and snow. In April.

April 5th 2009, 7:43 p.m.

*sigh* Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza episode of Throwdown w/ Bobby Flay is on again. Makes me homesick. And hungry.

April 6th 2009, 2:30 a.m.

*sigh* Today's the last day the Jayhawks are reigning nat'l champs. It's been fun.

April 6th 2009, 11:02 a.m.

@yashh There are only two or three I'll use in the bundle, but even for those it's a good value. I'll pull out the credit card tonight.

April 6th 2009, 11:28 a.m.

@Maddieline I'd have no problem with losing to the eventual champs, except for my disdain for Big 10 basketball. So it's a wash.

April 6th 2009, 11:27 a.m.

@Maddieline The PSU/UofI game is really the reason for my Big10 hatred :-) Enjoy the deep dish. I've got one waiting in my freezer

April 6th 2009, 11:37 a.m.

@jmorgenstern It'll be an exciting year for the Royals, pushing for 82-85 wins. But the Central is gonna be tough. 85 wins gets 3rd.

April 6th 2009, 11:35 a.m.

Hit my to-do list milestone for the morning. Lunch time!

April 6th 2009, 12:40 p.m.

@jmorgenstern I just hope the royals don't start to build their win total this week against the White Sox. If they even get the games in...

April 6th 2009, 12:50 p.m.

@LizzieG429 @flohrs I prefer the Showbiz Pizza band + Usher's love in this club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b90Cf6ARscc

@jacklail @cmheisel We have no idea. Apparently yesterday it was malicious and today it's not shrug @mberger knows more about it than i do
