    Its been hard to figure out my relationship problems without Ryan around to call, Brad just doesn't seem to have the soft and loving gaze that Ryan had.

    I sometimes find myself examining things through the lens of "I wonder if Ryan Davis would have been way into this?"

    I bet he would love "Making a Murderer.

    My favorite "interaction" with Ryan was early in the morning Christmas day, the year before he passed, on the Twitter - which I can't link to because his account got deleted :(

    taswell: Hey all. Merry Christmas.

    me: YOU'RE A CHRISTMAS!

    taswell: YOU ARE!!!

    ....it was so very Ryan. Made my Christmas that year.

    I was just thinking about him today. I often think of him like "I wonder what Ryan would say or think about this".

    Merry Christmas Ryan.

    I wonder if this site would have ever become the lasting force it is without you. I doubt it.

    Been watching the Persona 4 ER, and it has been a re-occurring treat to hear Ryan chime in on something or other.

    Pretty unique guy.

    This is great. Reminds me of the time I sent an email to the bombcast whose entire content was the word "Sup?" He promptly responded with "N'much. You?" Just a guy who never passed up an opportunity, no matter how small, to spread goofy delight. Most people have to choose between dispensing joy in broad strokes (like an actor starring in a comedy) or targeted strikes (the way we all know folks who can always make us smile in our personal lives). Ryan was the rare person who could pull off both, a picture of joy who could grow to any size without losing a pixel of resolution.
