Edinburgh entrepreneurship blog Startup Cafe just published my article about Scottish gaming magazine (and University of Edinburgh start-up company) SquareGo.
Some facts that didn’t make the final cut:
1. SquareGo’s Managing Editor Josh Wilson was recently arrested in Cuba for crimes unknown. He has since been released and has not been charged with anything. The police have explained that it was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Josh has gained one heck of a story for his grandchildren.
2. SquareGo was a finalist in last year’s New Ventures competition (sponsored by Launch, my employer and the University’s support service for student-entrepreneurs). They later advanced to the Scotland-wide round.
3. TC Larsen, Enterprise Manager for Square-Go, spent a year abroad at the University of California, Berkeley. He happens to be Norwegian (a nationality that borders the makers of this fine vampire film), and plays a very competitive game of Flight Control on his iPhone.
4. Dave Cook, acting Managing Editor while Josh is cavorting in the communist hemisphere, is an award-winning games journalist (2008 Regional Games Columnist of the Year from the Games Media Awards).
5. To prevent what the site calls “viagra spam”, anyone wishing to post a comment on the SquareGo website must pass this extremely rigourous test question: “What colour is an orange?”
That’s all for now. Over and out.
