Wostyntje
3/5. Cloudy, earthy beer with deep coriander flavour and a touch of mustard, though not as strong tasting as expected.

Atonement
This adaptation of the novel is both period piece and manipulative melodrama.

All style and no substance – this beautiful looking film lacks the smarts to make it a classic.

Stop ACTA!
A privately-negotiated international trade agreement that's anti-sharing, anti-privacy and anti-democratic.
Let's put a stop to ACTA.
Who you gonna call?
Hello, you. I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name as those guys. I'm a user experience consultant, expatriate, traveller, writer and pro cycling enthusiast.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert. I started my website in 2005 and I've been running it ever since.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
