Sure signs of a wasted life

Have you spent far too much of the last ten years on the internet?

Are you _sure_?

Because if you want to check you can go and watch Internet Stars Are Viral and see how many of them you recognise. Featuring, everything from NumaNuma and O RLY to things even I didn't recognise.

Book Identification Help!

It starts with an assassin, who (IIRC) has no memories before a certain point. It ends with a battle of wits on a solar mining platform slowly descending towards the sun and certain death. There's bits of talk about circular theories of society, a bit of time travel, and the main character learns to use his sense in reverse (projecting images from his eyes, for instance).

Anyone ID this? The name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite place it.

Nobody tells me anything

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is heading back to TV, along with his Buffy co-star Eliza Dushku, with Dollhouse, an SF series that Fox has given a seven-episode order, Variety reported.

Dollhouse follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories, depending on their mission.

After each assignment—which can be physical, romantic or even illegal—the characters have their memories wiped clean and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the dollhouse). The show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness.
