[FairfieldLife] Teabaggers vs the GOP

"Hee Haw" meets "28 Days Later" By CHARLES M. BLOW - New York Times - January 8, 2010 The attack on the Republican establishment by the tea party folks grabs the gaze like a really bad horror flick — some version of "Hee Haw" meets "28 Days Later." It's fascinating. But it also raises a

[FairfieldLife] 3D TV is here

I haven't even been able to see "Avatar" in 3D yet, but at the recent CES show attendees got to see some of their favorite non-3D movies in 3D. On a television screen thinner than a pack of matches. I want one. Samsung rolled out its new 3D televisions. Just 1/3- inches thick, they can display 3D

[FairfieldLife] Why I am a Joss Whedon fanboy

As I sit here in a cafe waiting for my download of the first of the last three "Dollhouse" episodes to complete back at my house, I thought I'd rap for a few minutes about why I like the guy so much. I discovered Joss Whedon only with "Firefly," having missed both "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and
