Ocean’s Thirteen
A golden jackpot to help raise the budget for a proper film. Like Las Vegas, this film is loud, garish and steals your money.

Roste Jeanne
2/5. A beer to celebrate the history of a woman burned at the stake, but it didn’t set me alight.

The Apostle
How many actors can play winsome and sinister in equal parts? Robert Duvall can. And he can direct it for you too!

Howards End
Some great individual performances. A boon for Forster fans but a bit of a chore for everyone else.

Hop Harvest 2010
4/5. A refreshing and well-rounded hop beer from De Ranke. Unexpectedly mild to the taste.

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.
