Totally wired for Belgium
Relocating to Brussels throws up lots of challenges such as how to evaluate Belgian supermarket chains and rewire UK plugs.

De Dolle Oerbier
4/5. Lots of wood in the taste, along with sherry and vanilla and a yoghurty tartness.

Abbaye des Rocs Brune
4/5. Looking almost like a red wine, intense and complex aroma is intense. Dry taste with only very slight bitterness and packed with caramel.

Straffe Hendrik Brugs Tripel 9°
4/5. Crisp and bubbly, with a trace of metallic taste giving way to a slightly fruity, slightly peppery body.

Louvre
Queues and queue jumpers. Crowds and crowded spaces. There are great art galleries and there’s the Louvre.

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.
