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.

Relocating to Brussels: the final haul

Moving to Brussels: temporary accommodation, commune registration, parking permits, utilities, rubbish collection, doctors, dentists.

Chimay Bleue

4/5. Flavours include brown sugar, raisins, toffee and lots of pepper. Strong alcohol is well masked and warming.

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.
