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.

Laying low at home with @jlsisme tonight. Earlier today, I got to ride shotgun as she drove the GTI for her first ride through the Dragon

November 1st 2009, 8:35 p.m.

Loving that KU Basketball season has begun. This is going to be a fun team to watch this year!

November 3rd 2009, 10:41 p.m.

White Sox just traded for Mark Teahen, my favorite Royal not named Zach Grienke! http://bit.ly/1W22V

@alijean1984 Don't worry - Chris Getz has a very promising career ahead. And Josh Fields can still live up to previously-high expectations

November 5th 2009, 1:11 p.m.

Just made a custom Google News section for KU sports news http://bit.ly/1RTFpc

November 5th 2009, 2:43 p.m.

I'm digging Google News custom sections http://bit.ly/3LhrqY (RT @patrickbeeson)

November 5th 2009, 2:42 p.m.

@montylounge I've had something similar awaiting polishing in my djangofriendly codebase for quite some time as well

November 6th 2009, 11:48 a.m.

Fighting the urge to stare at puppy pictures by trying to rewrite some complex JS before the work day ends

November 6th 2009, 5:34 p.m.

@michaeldick How are you liking life with a puppy? Or maybe I should ask @imatlas...

November 6th 2009, 11:59 p.m.

@boltron5k I'll be streaming some MST3K to my PS3 next week too!

November 7th 2009, 12:39 a.m.

After a nice dinner with @jlsisme, I'm up late on Fri night watching basketball and wireframing

November 7th 2009, 12:42 a.m.

WTF. Can't believe KU only put up 10 points in a loss to K-State. Off to tailgate and go to the Tennessee game on a beautiful November day

November 7th 2009, 4:32 p.m.

It's another beautiful Fall Sunday, so I'm off for a pretty drive. Wish @jlsisme could enjoy it with me instead of jetting off to Florida.

November 8th 2009, 1:50 p.m.

A pic from atop Cherohala Skyway http://twitpic.com/ot3im

November 8th 2009, 6:13 p.m.

Back from my drive on Cherohala Skyway, it's time to go for a run (70deg out!) and then get to wireframing for the rest of the day/night.

November 8th 2009, 6:12 p.m.

http://grab.by/pND Not the error I want to see after attempting to book a hotel room and giving my CC info. Not good, Hilton...

November 10th 2009, 2:07 a.m.

Wireframing while watching the Jayhawks' second and final exhibition game before starting their Final Four run

November 10th 2009, 9:05 p.m.

@brob No, no. Great teams can be expected to make the Final 4. Once you've got 4 great teams left in single elimination, anything can happen

November 10th 2009, 9:35 p.m.

Even Microsoft hates writing CSS hacks for Internet Explorer: http://idek.net/f68 (RT @mike9r)

November 13th 2009, 10:35 a.m.

Sad to see news of David Shirk's passing. He was a fascinating & generous fixture of the Lawrence and KU communities http://bit.ly/3HCMvj

November 13th 2009, 10:51 a.m.

Off to pick up @jlsisme from the airport and start the weekend a bit early!

November 13th 2009, 1:15 p.m.

Oh how I love how the Rock Chalk chant sounds echoing around Allen Fieldhouse. Even when I'm only hearing it on an internet feed

November 13th 2009, 11:05 p.m.

@onemoreryan Justin.tv comes in handy often, but thankfully most of our games that won't be on nat'l tv are on espn360

November 13th 2009, 11:39 p.m.

Watching KU's senior day against Nebraska. Reesing, Meier and crew deserve to go out with a win. Rock Chalk!

November 14th 2009, 4:38 p.m.

Just made a messy, stinky, *adorable* decision with @jlsisme http://twitpic.com/pkjac http://twitpic.com/pkjab

November 14th 2009, 10:03 p.m.

@herbhimes is a badass boss. Just watched his band's first show http://twitpic.com/pkqiw

November 14th 2009, 10:47 p.m.

http://yfrog.us/83eiez Phog "Phoggy" Schaffer-Berg, our new mini australian shepherd! He moves in with us after Thanksgiving

November 15th 2009, 12:12 a.m.

Wise words, sir. (RT @kylehoedl) Knowing is better than wondering, regardless of the outcome.

November 16th 2009, 3:17 a.m.

Fading fast tonight. Trying to push through a design problem or three and get to bed.

November 17th 2009, 1:05 a.m.

And, I just got my ass kicked by color profile issues. Not going to recover without sleep. Goodnight, all.

November 17th 2009, 1:47 a.m.

Rock Chalk! Watchin the KU vs Memphis game even though I should really go to bed

November 17th 2009, 11:35 p.m.

Not a pretty win for the Jayhawks, but I'll take it. Off to work in 3 1/2 hours, so it's bedtime.

November 18th 2009, 1:26 a.m.

At work to prep for a site launch. Wish I knew where the light switch is around here.

November 18th 2009, 5:22 a.m.

@mattheisig But first I'll need 11 reasons to read it, and 8 things that will happen if I don't.

November 18th 2009, 12:05 p.m.

Another Wednesday, another Scripps site launch! http://www.independentmail.com/

November 18th 2009, 3:33 p.m.

Hitting the road with @jlsisme to Tulsa, OK. Not heading back to Knoxville till after Thanksgiving

November 20th 2009, 6:59 a.m.

I see a giant pyramid. Must be approaching downtown Memphis, of course.

November 20th 2009, 12:23 p.m.

@brob of course I waved. You may not have recognized me without my 2008 championship shirt on, however.

November 20th 2009, 12:51 p.m.

@brob The rest of the country? ;-)
