This series of animated sketches: the first by Stodoe Studios, came out last week, just in time for Deathly Hallows Part 2.

It does not respect the franchise.

A nifty video by Torrey Meeks for this lightning-fingered live video by 17 year-old French mashup artist Madeon that was knocking around the internets last week.

It’s rather good.

Hiking (crawling, tip-toeing – call it what you will) along the ridiculously narrow Pali Puka ridge in Oahu: a trail with huge drop-offs on either side.

The clip – shot with a tiny a GoPro Hero camera – would have been just as impressive without the epic music score but, according to hiker dgcpinoy, the raw audio is simply ‘awful low quality shrieking wind’.

That, and the squeaky-balloon sound of butt cheeks clenching.

The 2012 Audi A7: fully-equipped for just a shade under $60,000 and on sale as of the first week in July, the A7 is a tech-lover’s dream car, with several totally integrated technological features, such as: 3D Google Earth aerial views on the above-dash GPS-system; a “Head-Up Display” that projects speed and turning directions onto the windshield in the driver’s line of vision (so that the driver doesn’t have to look down, thus keeping his head up); In-vehicle WiFi connectivity for up to 8 devices. a touchpad system with handwriting recognition, allowing the driver to write out phone numbers, addresses, or the names of restaurants, hotels, and more with his pointer finger.

Available in Europe this Autumn starting at  €51,650. We’ll have two.
