So for those of you who missed it (and shame on you ) I was featured on Attitude last Sunday morning! Attitude is a great disability-flavoured TV show hosted by Curtis Palmer, Tanya Black, and Grant Sharman, amongst others, which screens every Sunday morning at 9:30 on TV1. But never fear! If you didn’t get to see this momentous occasion in NZ television history, I present it to you below in all its YouTube-ified glory. Check it out, and let

Hey everyone, Just a quick update to let you all know why I haven’t been posting as much the last few weeks – I really am still alive! I’ve started back at Uni for my 2nd year of my Communications degree, which of course brings with it such joyous obligations as essays, assignments, et al. I’ve scored a job working part-time at Saatchi & Saatchi which, while freakin cool, takes up a good half of my week! Add to that

Well – have you?! I’m pleased to announce I’ve scooped an interview with the Minister for Disability Affairs, Hon. Ruth Dyson, at the end of next week, and I’d love to know what you’d like me to ask her! Leave your questions for the Minister in the comments below, and I’ll try to squeeze them in! Full interview transcript to follow late next week

Well gosh, try as I might to entertain you all with interesting stories, or inform you all with, well, informative ones, nothing much appears to be happening in the world of disability! So, please. If you’ve seen or heard anything recently which you think might interest the rest of the walkingisoverrated family, then let us know!

To celebrate the last weekend of my summer holidays, some friends and I are off to “New Zealand’s leading edge summer festival” – Splore! So whilst I won’t be updating the site over the weekend, I’ll be sure to take plenty of pictures and write up a comprehensive review when I get back.

I know this isn’t as long-established or mainstream as other blogs but I believe it has the potential to create powerful and positive social change, not something many blogs can lay claim to! So take 30

Okay, so this blog hasn’t been around all that long, but I’m delighted to say that January has been the most successful month for walkingisoverrated.com so far! There’s a graph on the left that you can click on to get a nice graphical representation, but lemme break it down for y’all verbally: 131,343 server requests (I’m not really sure what that means, but it sounds like a lot) 16,168 page views (that’s the number of pages that have been, well,

Hey everyone, I’ve been on holiday in the windy city this week, down in our wonderful capital, which is the reason for the lack of updates these past few days! But while I’ve been away I’ve been keeping an eye on things around town so expect a review or two in the coming days ALSO I’ve received word that a wheelchair accessible van is for sale, for those that are in the market for one of these (please note: I

My sister and I are roadtrippin’ it down to Mt Maunganui this weekend to see one of my best friends get married! Whilst it’s all very exciting, it also means the blog won’t be updated over the weekend, so um, prepare yourselves No doubt I’ll have tonnes of photos and things to report upon my arrival! Let’s see how this idyllic beach town stacks up accessibility-wise, shall we? Have a good weekend everyone!
