Working in Leeds

— Jobbing around a familiar town after years away can help you see the place differently.”

Leeds city centre

I’m currently working in Leeds on Flash sites for a number of well-known brands.

I hadn’t really seen the city for a long time, so it was quite a surprise when I got here to discover all the changes that have occurred in the centre during the last few years.

It’s a busy place at lunchtimes. If you actually look up from the street when threading your way through the crowds, the buildings are really incredible.

Funny what you see when you’re driving home on a Sunday afternoon.

Welcome home, Scofield

Cars can become so dear to their owners that even a minor accident is deeply traumatic.

It’s time to say goodbye to a good employer. I’m moving back to Yorkshire.

Speaking

Dining out at lunchtime during the working week is a rare treat. This time we say goodbye to a colleague.

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. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion

Dopeology.org

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.
