After my rant about Wacom’s announcement of their aluminum Bamboo Stylus for iPads—and all other capacitive screens—Shapedad’s Ivo Beckers got ahold of me and asked me to try out his Eco Stylus. Turns out, it is actually made of bamboo. I waited until I had a good bit of experience with the new stylus before writing my thoughts down. Read my full review after the jump.

One of my favorite things to do in the morning is bake the plastic off the CPU cores in the ol’ computer and there’s nothing like a little rendering action to make that happen. As I write this, my CPU is maxed out at 100% while KeyShot 2.1 creates some of the renderings you’ll see below.
KeyShot 2.0 (covered here) brought a new look and new features to the new KeyShot render engine ruckus that started up earlier this year. Now, as of today, KeyShot 2.1 is out and while minor releases don’t usually have a huge amount of significant upgrades, KeyShot 2.1 shows Luxion is on a night-and-day development binge that’s just not stopping… hook. me. up.
Oh to have the power over time and SPACE. The folding and bending and rotating. You take that too lightly and you’ve suddenly destroyed three planetary systems and a shrimp boat off the coast of New Jersey. Take that down a few million notches and you have all the harnessed energy of 3D computational manipulation in the palm of your opposite and less dexterous hand with the 3DConnexion SpaceExplorer.
What does this device do? Does is actually reduce 50% of mouse clicks and make you more productive? I have a mouse to select stuff, a keyboard to type stuff and now a I have a 3D Mouse to rotate stuff. It looks cool, but I want it to do more than provide another way to spin a model around. Let’s see what this thing can do.
