About

I’m Ryan. This site is almost entirely vanity, with a touch of learning tossed in. I live in Ypsilanti, MI and work for the University of Michigan (no, I will not be able to help you get tickets). Everything on this site is my opinion and not that of the University.

On the “who is he” side, I live with my girlfriend, J–. I like to play PC games, occasionally ride my bike, mow the lawn (seriously screw mowing the lawn), drink beer, brew beer, think about beer, and sometimes just admire beer remember drinking beer. In a former life, I wrote things, like actual stories and stuff. I even wrote professionally, although that was very dull, technical, and not at all fun. I miss the anticipation of the next (delayed) Douglas Adams book and thoroughly annoying J– with references to both the Hitchhikers series (which she has read) and the Dirk Gentley series (which she has not). I can relate almost any life event to a Simpsons episode or vignette. If I had the motivation, I’d write something about it, but I won’t.

I love to cook and, if I had the means, would actually make that a career. As it is, I’m happy being a know-it-all curmudgeon, but I’m really a nice guy at heart. I have lots of other places where I appear on the Web, but you can find that on your own if you’re so interested (and you’re not, really, are you, so why would I link to that crap?).

You can email me at ryan@youknowwhatpart.com, but I’ll warn you that I’m really bad at email.
