Double Indemnity
A crackling script but surprisingly short on dramatic tension.

You’re only as old as you feel: the modernisation of an ancient Catalan city.

Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown
A smash-and-grab of awards for a film that feels rather rushed.

3/5. Cloudy, earthy beer with deep coriander flavour and a touch of mustard, though not as strong tasting as expected.

Maredsous 10°
3/5. Less enamoured of this now than before. Plenty of caramel, cloves, baking and fruit flavours in there.

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.
