Review of Total Recall (2012)
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Total Recall (2012) Rating: ⭐⭐ Why are there remakes?
Sometimes I wonder why a film gets remade only to make it worse. The original Total Recall was a good film. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but a clever, funny, action-packed (and only slightly … -
MegaMegaMonitor 0.50 - Greypo Edition
I've just made available version 0.50 of MegaMegaMonitor. Thanks to everybody who's helped test it so far. This version removes the limitation on people who're listed as approved contributors to more than a hundred subreddits, like /u/Greypo. Well, it probably does that. Personally, I'm only an approved contributor for like 65 subreddits. Give it … -

I don't normally let anybody see magic tricks I'm still rehearsing until I'm absolutely happy with them. But this one's for you, MegaManLounge.

I am avapoet. AMA!
[this post was originally made to a private subreddit]
Last month, /u/Snazzlo did an MML AMA. I suggested that we should get to know one another better by making it a regular thing, with each IAmA MMLer nominating the next, and in response, /u/Snazzlo nominated me. Let's do this thing!
I'm working from home this morning … -
An idea to help MegaMen find one another more easily in the big wide world of Reddit. What do you think?
[this post was originally made to a private subreddit]
I love the MegaLounges, and I really love the MegaManLounge. We're a hugely disparate group of people yet we've come together into a wonderful community that I'm proud to be a part of. And I felt like it'd be nice to give something back. But what?
If … -
Gross domestic product based on PPP valudation of country GDP matches the "county" MegaLounges so far, predicts Japan next. Have I solved the puzzle?

TIL that in 1967 a brand of foot powder was elected mayor of a town in Ecuador
Picoaza is a relatively small village near Ecuador’s Pacific coast. It's the site of an archaeological treasure: a settlement dating back before the time of Christopher Columbus. It's also a rather poor area, where clean drinking water, sewer systems, and telephone service are inadequate at best.
It is also the only town in the known world …
