nnnnnnn…19

Twas Paul Hardcastle as I recall, way back in the murky 80’s singing about ‘all those who remember the war’ and the ‘average age of a soldier in the Vietnam War being nnnnnn…19′.

Well that’s barely relevant, but 19 is the age of tech entrepreneur Jared Kim who just raised $3m for WeGame - a media sharing platform for gamers. You download a screen capture/video uploader which enables you to record your virtual persona, warlock, dwarf a.n.other mythical freak beating up other… er freaks.

It’s all a bit Bill & Ted’s for me, as I was reared on the Sinclair 48k Spectrum, but credit where credit is due, it’s a very simple, very clever idea.

When I was 19 I was waking up in other people’s caravans and smoking cigarettes with gloves on.
