All 253 Messi La Liga Goals In One Sitting

All 253 Messi La Liga Goals In One Sitting - After just watching the first 20 or so, you will realize the reason Messi has gone so far so fast. Its his touch. It's just amazing. He can bend the ball like no one's business, but more impressively are his drop shots. His sand wedge play is beyond amazing. Layups are his thing. Quickly flipping the ball just over the goalie's head shot after shot.

Airline Fail Goodness

Airline Fail Goodness - The plane apparently froze to the runway? Seriously? FROZE TO THE RUNWAY. I didn't even know that was a thing. But apparently it was negative 52 degrees Celsius?

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter

Time Travel Goes Awry in Double Trouble Kickstarter - Andreas Climent and André Hedetoft are Swedish filmmakeers that created the short film “Double Trouble” to investigate the humorous fallout of a young man who suddenly is enabled with the power of time travel.

Font Combination Bliss

Designing is difficult. I'm a decidedly mediocre designer because I have to be. In my line of work it can be important to bang out a good design quickly and without outsourcing. Two of the most difficult things about designing are 1) color combinations and 2) font selections.

If not gay, definitely very metro... wow.)
