In this episode before the start of the Easter break, I share my

experiences after returning back to work after some weeks at home

recovering from a back injury I sustained 2 months ago. I talk about

the fact that while working from home has its benefits, nothing can

really replace the experience of working with my work mates and

meeting new people at the office. While this was my first step towards

recovery, I also take the occasion to think about what is the purpose

of my life and the future. Happy holidays!

Dedicated to my friends at work...

In this episode, I share my concerns about voting in the general elections due on March 9 to be held over here in Malta. The situation is that, as a disabled person having a visual impairment, I can't vote in the election in secret. While I remain anxious with the prospect of voting in front of third parties representing the Electoral Commission,I express a hope that with Malta's ratification of the UN Convention Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), other disabled people who have been denied the right to a secret vote for soap long will finally be able to vote in secret. However, there has to be enough political trust to implement in full Article 29 of the UNCRPD. While I argue that the recommendations of Article 29 will definitely help in guaranteeing us a right to a secret vote, it would also benefit people whom, for other reasons, don't find the voting system accessible in its present form.

I end this episode by playing an audio version of a post entry I recently published on my blog at Gordon's D-Zone. This entry can be read at:

After a rather long absence from AudioBoo, I take this opportunity to say hello and update you on things. I end by

reading a haiku I just wrote, Boundless Unconceived

In this episode, I talk about an alternative way of looking at disability - the social model. I also provide a brief history of three approaches to impairment throughout history.

In this spoken entry from my ZoneMind blog, I reflect on the suffering caused by attachment.
