Net Magazine
Not long after the birth of the web, the IDG publication ‘Net Magazine’ saw the light. The magazine focused on the emerging Internet and its users. For several years I wrote extensively for the magazine. My favorite however, was the ‘Net Niet’ column about the fictional character Max Apple who constantly dealt with the trials and tribulations of the new web phenomena and its early tech such as Netscape plugins, Gopher and dial-up modems .

Readers Digest
In the early 90’s I wrote several articles for Readers Digest. These are the ‘uncut’ versions. Prepare for a long but fascinating read…
“Mayday, Mayday, we’re going down, we’re sinking! This is the Dora H, Dora H…” (pdf, English)

Theo Bruynzeels, An Accidental Spy (pdf, English)
Volkskrant
For one of the larger Dutch newspaper I wrote an article about how International criminal enterprises dumped millions of pounds of illegally caught salmon onto the European market. The salmon, caught with the notorious driftnets, at the time continued to show up on the Dutch, French and British markets, the Dutch buying the bulk. The Dutch importers changed their policy after the article raised questions. It was my first article ever published by a ‘big one’.
