PANTONE swatch

As a leaving gift from my current business, I received a PANTONE swatch. It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it? Thanks, J Limited!

Pont du Gard

One of the world’s finest remaining examples of Roman engineering and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Bourgogne des Flandres

3/5. Dark, caramelised and malty, this beer is pleasantly light and only slightly sour.

Send Me No Flowers

A ripe comedy about hypochondria, this movie’s too fast to catch cold.

Stouterik

3/5. A solid Belgian stout with strong roasted aroma and surprisingly fruity flavours in amongst the expected sourness.

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

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.
