Radio & TV
Television appearances:
“Next to writing, giving workshops and lecturing I really enjoy being in front of a camera. I’m passionately fascinated by science and technology and television allows me to discover the fascinating wonders of the modern world. In front of the camera I get to test, touch, view, discover, hear and talk about my passions. Something I could not do otherwise. It’s a privilege to share my boy-like bewilderment but also the trials & tribulations of our modern day technological lives with others.”
Thank you all.

Bright Uitpakparty
The Bright Uitpakparty (Unboxing party) is a weekly internet-TV video review column tackling the latest technological innovations. The Bright Uitpakparty is raw, in your face, unscripted, out on the street or straight out of the livingroom with a touch of cynical humor. What you see is what you get and that includes me. Though I’m not the only host I’m also known as Mr. uitpakparty (Mr. Unboxing-party ). Over the years I made more than 150 Uitpakparties.
