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.

@ryanmgreene I've never been so relieved when my team's player fouled out. Gordon's 5th was absurd, but I was glad he wasn't around in OT

@herbhimes uses MySpace for pimping.

May 1st 2009, 11:05 a.m.

Brainstorming for @djangodash, hoping to get a team together. Or maybe joining a team with a great idea already - who needs a designer?

@mattheisig I'm right behind you. You've unleashed a Flight Control monster

May 2nd 2009, 1:55 p.m.

Been working all afternoon, now off to dinner at Soccer Taco. Then back home for Bulls/Celtics game 7

May 2nd 2009, 6:27 p.m.

Making a fun but rare excursion to Sassy Ann's

@boltron5k that's the one! Tonight it's the wasted gay guy making out with and groping every girl bar. Been quite amusing to watch.

May 3rd 2009, 12:58 a.m.

Was at the office all day working on templates and documentation. Time for a short run to test my crippled ankle, then more doc writing.

May 3rd 2009, 8:30 p.m.

Finishing up some documentation so that I can wake up and use the docs to teach our staff in Evansville how to use their shiny new site

@tweetie Is there a way to change the blue highlighted bubble introduced in 1.1? When using up arrow to read tweets, it's quite jarring.

May 4th 2009, 10:56 p.m.

Engaging in battle with Firefox this morning. It's making my life quite difficult.

May 5th 2009, 10:07 a.m.

After deleting some Firefox sqlite files that store bookmarks/toolbar info then relaunching, Firefox is back to normal. Phew.

@atebits Two quick tries, using blue more subtly and increasing spacing: http://twitpic.com/4nbm5 http://twitpic.com/4nbm3

@atebits As I use up arrow, the bubble feels so cramped btwn top of window and previous tweet. My eyes never get to rest http://bit.ly/RbB6w

@Slingshot_SEO Can you cite an actual instance of a website being penalized by Google for replacing text with an img of same/similar text?

Five guys in a van heading to Five Guys for one last lunch before our office moves across town. It's the end of a delicious era.

@ericmoritz when it comes to the mighty mouse, I have nothing but complaints

May 7th 2009, 11:34 p.m.

Found some free wifi in Houston thanks to Panera. Much better than paying $30 to the hotel for wifi today.

May 8th 2009, 12:34 p.m.

@notasausage Thanks for the $5 link. I liked Asher's mixtape from last year, but didn't think I'd like his album enough for full price.

May 8th 2009, 12:40 p.m.

@boltron5k iiiii know! They were gonna charge me $15 from 11-12, then another $15 for the following 24hr period. What a joke!

May 8th 2009, 1:01 p.m.

Doing some work from the hotel lobby, since the bridal party has taken over my hotel room to put dresses on.

May 9th 2009, 6:55 p.m.

I could salivate over cars around the Houston Galleria all day. http://twitpic.com/4vpq6

@mattheisig Not good at all is right. Let me know if you need to use my work laptop, and I'll bring my personal one in for the homestretch.

May 9th 2009, 7:25 p.m.

@brittneymoore If the design program at UT is anything like the one at KU, prepare for many many late nights.

May 9th 2009, 8:34 p.m.

@mattheisig Standard warranty is 12mo. AppleCare is 36mo.

Having a great time at @jlsisme and @amelinger's middle sister's wedding. And I'm totally taking the maid of honor home with me.

May 10th 2009, 12:05 a.m.

Previously-mentioned maid of honor caught the bouqet. I'm in trouble.

@ryanmgreene when the time comes, she's gonna have quite a few bridesmaids. I'll need all the groomsmen I can get.

May 10th 2009, 10:33 a.m.

Back in Knoxville with @jlsisme after a weekend in Houston for her sister's wedding. The weekend was wonderful but it's great to be home.

May 10th 2009, 11:10 p.m.

@trey Any reason to use Prism instead of Fluid?

May 11th 2009, 2:16 p.m.

@trey So, no features stand out to justify a switch. I wonder if it'll work with Outlook Web Access (Fluid won't for me)

May 11th 2009, 2:34 p.m.

@logancollins Lucky. I want to play!

May 11th 2009, 11:38 p.m.

Watching the end of a great Blackhawks game with a bowl of thin mint ice cream, and @jlsisme falling asleep on the couch next to me

May 11th 2009, 11:36 p.m.

Final day before Scripps launches the new http://courierpress.com. Today is a day of tying up loose ends.
