Wacom Inkling

We've seen pens that translated ink drawings to digital lines automagically before. So far, though, I don't think there's ever been one that works as sleek as the Wacom Inkling.

Using it is simple: You clip the receiver to your sketchpad; you use the pen to draw the half-Chthulhu/half-mermaid you saw in your dream last night; and you draw some more until all your nightmares are neatly sketched on stacks of sheets. When you're done, simply connect the receiver to your PC via USB and browse through everything you just drew on paper in digital form. Like magic. From there, you can export any files you like from the receiver's storage to your PC. You can save it as JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, SVG or PDF, as well as transfer it directly in vector form to Photoshop, Illustrator or Autodesk Sketchbook.

The Wacom Inkling uses ultrasonic and infrared technologies to perform the conversion, capturing your sketches stroke by painstaking stroke. More accurate than any digital pen in the market, it boasts 1,024 levels of ballpoint pressure, allowing it to save lines and strokes with precise thickness. There are some limits of course: you can only draw up to an A4-sized area and all drawings need to be made within close vicinity of the receiver (that's why you clip it on top of the paper).

The pen/receiver combo can work up to 8 hours on a full charge, giving you enough rope to sketch on the road for an entire workday. Oh yeah, and it supports layers. All you have to do is click on the "layer button" and any sketch after that will be done on a new digital sheet. Just like you’re drawing on a computer.

Availability for the Wacom Inkling starts by mid-September, priced at $199 for a full set (pen, receiver, batteries, spare ink, charging case and software).

Lyricist：Takeshi Hosomi Composer：Takeshi Hosomi You said I can see the lights beneath Like a town under the clouds Just a bit of fear is fine Today Waiting for the shooting stars Crane my neck to look up at them When you laugh I feel your pain When the night is getting dark I can't stop looking into When the sky is getting cold I can't stop falling into When the time is getting old today Let's just say yeah Let me see the morning light Ditch a fake TV smile And you said to no one there Like 3, 2, 1 Go When we see the rising sun Then I feel your body getting warm You said Thought the world was completely dark I can still see my own track It's the beauty of its heart Today Not so perfect weather wise Hope it shows before the dawn When you smile I see your pain When the night is getting dark I can't stop looking into When the sky is getting cold I can't stop falling into When the

Takeshi Hosomi (ELLEGARDEN) Interview in US (2006)

"Thank you so much guy, america has been so great, and we are having a fantastic time here, really, thank you so much!" Takeshi said, waving--and it wasn't the usual rehearsed, typical lead singer chater. It was honest, from the heart, and off the cuff. Takeshi comes off as the nicest guy in j-rock, onstage and off. The whole band came out afterward and spent the whole night chatting with fans, with a 6am flight to new york looming, Nice! Less than an hour after bringing the house down for the first time in north america at SXSW 2006, and with a new CD just out and a nine-city tour on the horizon, Ellegarden's Takeshi Hosomi found a not-too-noisy corner of Austin's Japanese-occupied Brush Square Park and talked about marriage, money, and why TV sucks with purple SKY's Go Wells: Go Wells: So this is your first gig in america; how are you enjoying it? Takeshi Hosomi: You know, we are now making kinda big sales back in japan, and we're well known. All
