It’s the 28th of the 8th of 2008, and it should not be surprising that, on so auspiciously numbered a date, destiny should draw events together to create a vortex of neato: Kenichi Nishi reports on his blog – following some anxious entries over the past couple of days – that at last, Newtonica is available for iPhone owners to buy, and what do you know, it just so happens that today is the release date for Captain Rainbow, the new and wonderful game from Skip, the company Nishi founded.

It’s not world peace, but one can’t help but feel that if God hasn’t smiled on indie gaming today, he has at least absent-mindedly flicked a booger at it.

And you know what else? I’m going to a YMCK show tonight! And one of the support acts is Sexy Synthesizer! And, I didn’t sleep at all last night, because I was busy making 2D sprites for a game. See how I lick your boogers, O Lord. They are rolling hills of candy to this unworthy mortal.
