Tag: birthday
Köln and Bonn
Thirtieth birthday treat: a weekend by train to two German cities and a marvellous art exhibition.
I am 27 today
Birthdays are a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how much more you have yet to achieve in life.

A unique musical experience worth going down to London for.

Hunting the hunters
The old boys’ sport of hunting continues apace in Belgium – no fun for anyone else who wants to enjoy the countryside.

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.

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.
