Will we ever see Dollhouse?
Dollhouse: Is It Time To Say A Pre-Emptive Goodbye To Dollhouse?
Hmmmm. I was a big fan of the Buffy and Angel series. But, I thought Firefly (and I know some people will disagree with me) was slow and pointless. Maybe Joss' writing has bogged down even more with this show. That would be too bad, as I was really looking forward to this pairing of Whedon and Dushku.
If it is as bad as it might now seem, I say cancel it and bring back Angel.

Michael Moorcock needs big keys
Help A Guy Out: Help Michael Moorcock Keep Writing
Michael Moorcock is ailing a bit and he needs help. He'd be able to get
a lot more writing done right now if he had a wireless keyboard with
large keys that he could use with his PC. He's been looking around and
apparently there are no BIG KEYS keyboards that are wireless.
There are big key keyboards. And, as mentioned by a commenter, there are USB wireless adaptors and USB hubs that could be used for this. And dictation software (Dragon...) is pretty accurate now. Keep writing Mike!

J. Michael Straczynski to pen a sequel to Forbidden Planet
Forbidden Planet: Babylon 5 Creator's Forbidden Planet Another Slice Of Retro
Say it ain't so! This guy is the worst sci-fi writer ever! B5, further TV series and movies were embarrassingly bad.

Obama compiling a list of Bush actions to quickly undo
Obama TCB | A Creative Revolution
This is good news
Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama
have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and
executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House
policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and
other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and
experts working with the transition team.
A team of four dozen advisers, working for months in
virtual solitude, set out to identify regulatory and policy changes
Obama could implement soon after his inauguration. The team is now
consulting with liberal advocacy groups, Capitol Hill staffers and
potential agency chiefs to prioritize those they regard as the most
onerous or ideologically offensive, said a top transition official who
was not permitted to speak on the record about the inner workings of
the transition.

Living with the bodies of dead siblings

This reminds me of A Rose For Emily, a short story I read as part of my English course in high school

In search of the ultimate Jello shot
The Ultimate Jell-O Shot - Gelatin Viagra
Although the proportion of alcohol to be added to Jell-O shots is partly a matter of taste, the typical Jell-O shot recipe greatly underestimates the amount of alcohol that can be added to Jell-O while still maintaining the gelatin’s setting properties. As long as a minimum amount of boiling water is used to completely dissolve the gelatin powder (4 oz. boiling water per 3 oz. package Jell-O), an amount of 80 proof alcohol up to 19 oz. can be added and the Jell-O will still gel. With sugar-free Jell-O, the minimum amount of boiling water necessary is 3 oz., and up to 24 oz. of 80 proof alcohol can be added and the Jell-O will still gel.
