J Street is always buzzing, even when we’re drinking decaf! Here are some things I’ve been thinking about.

Computer on a Stick?
How small can a PC get? Intel has announced their Intel Compute Stick, which is an entire Windows 8.1 PC on a tiny device that plugs directly into the HDMI port of a TV or monitor. They say it will be available later in 2015. My big questions are on the cost, and how well peripherals will work.
I recently had a conversation with my 22-year-old son, who was kind enough to list some words and phrases that I shouldn’t say. They are simply out of date or otherwise not cool. As a public service, I’ll list some of them here so that you can also benefit from my son’s advice.
Chillax (though Chill is still okay)
Fail (esp. Epic Fail)
Internets (no longer funny)
Meme (overused and just too… Internet)
Totes (as in totally)
Have any friends or family suggested that you stop using a particular word? Reply and let me know! Or if you have a word or phrase that you would like an official ruling on, I’ll be happy to ask my son for you.
