After Dark

After Dark by Haruki Murakami

Not in the same league as Murakami’s best work. Not that his English language publisher would have you believe that.

Grotesque

Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino

Kirino’s painful critique of the enormous pressure put on Japanese youth to conform and succeed needs no advertisements.

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.
