Following a bewitching, unpronounceable little river as it flows down a narrow, rocky valley in the Ardennes.

A culture of sorrow
Orhan Pamuk describes a collective sorrow that permeates his native city but this cultural meme seems to have taken root everywhere.

Oh, we do like to be beside the lakeside

Duchesse de Bourgogne
3/5. Tastes rather like a gueuze: a bit tart with a nice touch of vanilla, autumn fruits and some balsamic vinegar for good measure.

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.
