Wow. SpaceClaim. Wow. It’s truly hard to find the words for what I’m reading. You always wonder who it’s going to be. Who is the company bringing new breath to the process of stacking geometry on top of geometry to form our ideas. I think we have the answer. I’ve pasted the full story sent in from SpaceClaim below. Prepare to be amazed by the NEW complexity…

Update:SpaceClaim hasn’t officially released this to the newswires yet, so it’s the first you’ll see of it.

All hail complexity.

Here’s the 10 other things we were going to write about today, but suddenly decided it would make more sense to overwhelm you with unbelievability factors beyond anything normal.
