Hi, I’m Ryan Phillips, DJ on Spin1038 in Dublin Ireland. But I probably contacted most of the people reading this myself, so you guys already know that right? For anyone who doesn’t you can find out more about me by clicking on the About Me tab on the top right of this page. The main purpose of the blog WAS as a motivational tool to help me train for the Dublin City Marathon 2010, which I hoped to run for charity this year. Sadly a recurrent shin injured has pretty much made running the marathon an impossibility for this year. SO, now I’ve to think of something else to do with... [Read the full story]
The Life Of Ryan
Can anyone be interesting, and what makes a good blog?
July 19, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Do you consider yourself interesting? I only ask, because I think that everyone is interesting. I think one of the reasons we watch (or watched, in my case) Big Brother is because we’re interested in how other people act, and what other people do. We like comparing them to ourselves, and thinking how we’re like or dislike like them; how we’re better or worse than them in certain aspects. I posed the question a while ago on twitter, whether people thought they would win Big Brother if they were on it, and lots of people did. They assumed, as I do, that they would be better at...

See if you’ve got the skills tomorrow morning just after 8 The Noughty Threesome – Every morning just after 8.45am it’s 3 tunes alll from the glorious years of 2000-2009, back to back (except for the occasional silent scooter,...

Marathon Training
Marathon Training – Days 135 to 146
Aside from the depressing recurring theme of injury, I’ve discovered a hidden advantage to my fragility, which is that it doesn’t take anywhere near as long to update my blog….albeit, it means my blog is bordering on pointless and being a complete waste of time…. When last I posted,...
Ok, if I thought yesterday was a bad day (and I did) then today was infinitely worse. I know this, becuase at 3.45 this afternoon I was sitting on the couch with an Ice pack on my elevated leg eating strawberry ice cream straight from the top. FYI, there’s a gorgeous strawberry icecream which you...
I have to say, I very nearly threw in the towel today. If this were a video diary and I was less of the macho macho man that I am, this is the bit where I would be getting all teary eyed and emotional about how difficult it all is. After my first day back running yesterday in about 2 weeks, I was back...

Hey all So I was on holiday last week (Ring of Kerry, since you’re wondering, there’s a blog post to come shortly!) and I decided to more or less go offline for the week and not tweet or concern myself with telling the world what I was up to at any given time. Don’t get me wrong, I...
So, there I was walking up Nassau Street (I think Reads might be on on it, I can’t quite remember the ad though) this afternoon to meet my friend Mary for lunch (that bit’s not crucial, I’m just setting the scene) when I saw this guy produce what looked like a heavy duty branch cutter,...

Kanye West is interviewed by Ryan Phillips and Tracy Clifford from Spin1038′s Fully Charged We spoke to kanye after a first listen session of his new album 808s and Heatbreak. In a quite surreal twist, the first listen was in a hotel room with Kanye West himself, and the new album was on his iphone....
We spoke to Comedian Julian Clary about his new show and I have to say that I was won over by the guy. I hadn’t really found him particularly funny before, thinking pretty much all his material was a bit overtly gay sexual innuendo, but he was really very charming and funny and actually very interesting...

Word ON THE SHOW TOMORROW War of the Words - After a week off I can hardly remember my own name, let alone the score in war of the Words. As far as I know, I’m still losing, badly-ish. Possibly. Anywho, there’s another chance to play and win on the show tomorrow just after 8am. 3 topics,...

Technology
I’m a huge fan of productivity tools, and think using technology to help increase your productivity and what you can do with the limited time available to you is a good idea and something to be looked at. However, I have a tendency to spend so long looking for ways to be more productive, that if...
Pro Tools 8 running on Windows 7
Huzzah I blogged a while ago that I had (somewhat foolishly) upgraded to Windows 7 without first checking that all the major programmes that I use were fully Windows 7 compliant. As it then turned out, Pro Tools 7 LE was not compatible with it. I use pro tools to edit the continuity voiceovers that I...

I stumbled across this video earlier while I was looking for another one (with the Christmas music). I had never seen it before, maybe you have. If not, enjoy!
Saw this girl in Dundrum Shopping Centre today with a mannequin fully dressed in Ski Gear in her trolley. In all likelyhood she works in the centre and was using the easiest means possible of transporting the mannequin to wherever it was going, but still, I like to think not. It still made me laugh anyway,...

I love Mock the Week, and it’s a crying shame that Frankie has left, but I’ve just been watching an Ad for the new DVD “Too Hot For TV 2″, which is a DVD of all the bits from the show that were, as you might expect from the title, “Too hot for Tv”…..except that...
