St Idesbald Tripel
2/5. Rich dark gold colour but not much in the nose. Very bitter on the tongue and a rather acidic aftertaste.

Pont-en-Royans
We stepped outside the Drôme for a day to have a look at the quirky little village of Pont-en-Royans.

Afrocubism
Visa problems stopped an Afro-Cuban soundclash in 1996, so producers recorded Buena Vista Social Club. Now after 14 years, the original project is here.

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.
