Video: Bright Duurtest
I have been testing new cars for Bright non-stop since 2011 and have made quite a few video’s about them. Here are some of my favourites.
Bright Ideas
After a good run of 55 copies Bright Magazine is no more. The physical magazine that is. It’s substituted by a bi-weekly online magazine called Bright Ideas. It means I won’t be reviewing cars the way I used to, I’ll be writing more about people, ideas and larger subjects. I have written two articles so…
Honeywell Evohome review
There’s something quite annoying about my house. It is incredibly difficult to heat every single area at the time you need to be there. I’ve had electric heating as a supplement for my studio, but was still frequently finding myself with a hat on and in need of gloves behind the computer. Honeywell promised to…
Philips Hue DIY birth announcement
Now that it’s pretty easy to tell your 563 Facebook Friends all and anything about yourself in a matter of seconds, taking the time to make an official offline printed birth announcement, might feel like too much work. On the other hand it’s a lot more personal to get a card sent specifically to you…
Bright #54: Panamera plugins and Tokyo visits
Bright 54 is out and I am proud to say there’s not 1, not 2, but 3 items written by me. Four of the best concept cars from the IAA car show are featured in all their glorious detail. My Tokyo visit has resulted in a story about the next Playstation. #4. How does it…
Bright #53
Bright #53 is out and will be in stores from next week. Guest editor Alexander Klöpping wrote about YouTube schooling (Buro Rust made some fantastic illustrations). I wrote about a scale 1:1 self build car, the Toyota Camatte. In the cockpit feature of the magazine I compare the Le Mans accident the resulted in the…
Bright #52: Tesla Model S and autonomous driving
Guess what just fell on my doormatt? Bright issue #52. And I wrote my biggest article so far for it; Some modern cars are able to drive themselves. But do we want them to? And does the law allow it? 5 pages on autonomous driving and a serious disclaimer! But that’s not all: I wrote…
Bright #51: Renault Zoe, LaFerrari and tax tips.
Bright #51 is out. With an interesting and entertaining article on online shopping and what happens to returns. And believe it or not: three, drie, drei, tre articles by me. A short and sweet one with a big image of the LaFerrari to start off. The car featured in the cockpit section this month is…
Benz or Beamer
Or something completely different. I came away mightily impressed by the BMW 320i EDE after a three week test for Bright. Quick, stylish and frugal. But it is a bit… Bayerisch? German? Exact? Non-poetic? Roger Muskee shot this video. I drove the car and talked. Go see for yourself.
Adidas Speedcell Basketball
Over a year ago I got to make a fool out of myself at ‘De Toekomst’, the training facility for the Ajax soccer club. Adidas launched their miCoach soccer shoes and I got to sprint, kick a ball around and underachieve amongst journalists who had played soccer since they were kids. So I asked the…
Congratulations: Bright #50 is out.
Bright issue #50 just came out. Quite a feat for the magazine that started in 2005 as a dutch blend of Wallpaper and Wired. In issue #7 (march 2006) I was interviewed as the founder of Nieuwe Garde. Not long after I was asked to write for Bright.nl. My first blogpost was about the Creative…
The Five Star Expedition
One of the most impressive press introductions I have witnessed so far is the Range Rover 2013 introduction in Marocco. An awe inspiring country, two full days of driving, fantastic diners and hotels and an impressive car. On this five star expedition I couldn’t bring the Schwung Visuell boys, so I had to handle the…
