Currently writing, working, coding, listening to music, and investigating the conspiracy that won’t let me obtain a new vehicle. It appears that it involves a global gambling mafia regarding German Car Brands and JDM Car Brands as to who will remain the winner. This has become extremely aggravating because I just need one car for the time being. I cannot afford a garage full of vehicles like TYRESE.

En ce moment, j'écris, je travaille, je code, j'écoute de la musique et j'enquête sur le complot qui m'empêche d'acquérir un nouveau véhicule. Il semblerait qu'une mafia mondiale des paris soit impliquée, opposant les marques automobiles allemandes aux marques japonaises (JDM) pour déterminer laquelle l'emportera. La situation est devenue extrêmement frustrante, car je n'ai besoin que d'une seule voiture pour l'instant ; je n'ai pas les moyens de posséder un garage rempli de véhicules comme Tyrese.

Ich schreibe, arbeite, programmiere und höre gerade Musik, während ich der Verschwörung auf den Grund gehe, die mich daran hindert, ein neues Auto zu bekommen. Es hat den Anschein, als stecke eine globale Glücksspielmafia dahinter – ein Machtkampf zwischen deutschen und japanischen Automarken (JDM) um die Vorherrschaft. Das Ganze ist extrem nervig, denn ich brauche vorerst nur ein einziges Auto. Ich kann es mir schließlich nicht leisten, eine ganze Garage voller Fahrzeuge zu haben wie Tyrese.

今は執筆や仕事、コーディング、音楽鑑賞をしながら、私が新しい車を手に入れるのを阻んでいる陰謀について調べています。どうやら、ドイツ車ブランドとJDM(日本国内市場向け)ブランドのどちらが勝者となるかを巡る、世界的なギャンブル・マフィアの暗躍が絡んでいるようです。当面は車が1台あれば十分なのに、こうした事態には本当に苛立たされます。タイリース(Tyrese)のようにガレージを車でいっぱいにできるほどの余裕は、私にはありませんから。

Ima wa shippitsu ya shigoto, kōdingu, ongaku kanshō o shinagara, watashi ga atarashī kuruma o te ni ireru no o habande iru inbō ni tsuite shirabete imasu.

💬 A Personal Note

There will be a new episode of "Coffee with Zack" (English) later this week. I know episodes have been delayed lately — the honest reason is that I haven't had a steady allowance or salary in years, and ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC is entirely bootstrapped, with no outside investors behind it. Right now, my main source of income is closer to an occasional $20 from my dad for a coffee shop or boba run than anything resembling a salary. It's genuinely been a stretch financially — I don't currently have enough on hand to cover something as small as garage parking to go eat at a French restaurant downtown in Sacramento, and that's a frustrating place to be in.

I'll also admit the World Cup didn't end up being the celebration I was hoping for this year, between the sporting disappointment and everything else going on. If you've been enjoying the content here, know that it really is a one-person operation, and any support — even something small — makes a real difference.

🎮 What I've Been Playing

I've been playing a lot of The Crew: Motorfest on PS5 lately — I love that racing game, and it's keeping me occupied until Forza Horizon 6 makes its way to PlayStation (it's currently Xbox Series X/S and PC only). I've done 25 livestream videos of Motorfest so far and I'm hoping to do more soon. It's also been a little while, so I need to jump back into Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty — playing it in Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Don't forget to finish your homework — the new semester will be here before you know it. And I've been adoring the real-life adaptation of GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka on Netflix lately — thank you so much for putting it up there.

Medicine Thursday · Jeudi Médecine

EDS Listening Labs, the Tour de France, and Screens as a Coping Tool

Aspiring member, La French Tech San Francisco 🇫🇷 — health awareness meets tech & culture

Thursday, July 23, 2026 · Jeudi 23 Juillet 2026

🇫🇷 La French Tech San Francisco — as a Franco-American founder building a bilingual media and technology company, joining the La French Tech SF community remains a top goal. Today's Medicine Thursday is dedicated to that spirit of community and care.
A note before we start: I am not a doctor, physician, or licensed medical/mental health professional. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economic Development Studies from The Ohio State University. This post is a curated awareness roundup for informational purposes only, and it is not medical advice. If you or someone you know is managing a health condition, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.
What's up, everybody! It's Thursday (Jeudi), July (Juillet) 23, 2026. Today we celebrate the world of Medicine. C'est jeudi! Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons le monde de la médecine.

🎗️ Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & HSD Awareness

The Ehlers-Danlos Society

Listening Labs: The Lived Experience

For many people living with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), diagnosis is only the beginning — the harder part is navigating care, being heard, finding support, and accessing joined-up services. The Ehlers-Danlos Society is inviting its community to take part in a series of Listening Labs as part of developing a new Model of Care for EDS and HSD. These structured virtual sessions offer a chance to share real experiences of seeking care — especially in primary care, where most journeys begin — helping identify what isn't working and what better care should look like.

🚴 The Tour de France as a Grounding Tool for Bipolar Disorder

Watching an elite three-week cycling grand tour isn't a medical treatment for bipolar disorder, but the experience of following the 2026 Tour de France can offer some real psychological benefits for mood stability and daily structure.

1. Daily Structure and Circadian Anchoring

  • Bipolar disorder is closely tied to disruptions in circadian rhythm and daily routine, so a predictable schedule matters for mood stability.
  • The Tour's 21 stages over roughly three weeks give viewers a fixed, comforting daily appointment — whether it's live coverage or catching up on highlights.
  • Pairing race-watching with a steady habit, like lunch at the same time or gentle stretching, reinforces daily rhythm.

2. Low-Stakes Engagement & Emotional Regulation

  • Grand tour cycling blends slow tactical buildup with short bursts of intensity, offering mental stimulation without real-world stakes or anxiety.
  • The long broadcast hours, scenic countryside, and steady commentary can provide a soothing ambiance on lower-energy days.

3. Vicarious Motivation

  • Watching riders push through difficult stages and recover afterward can echo the endurance and pacing that managing bipolar disorder often requires.
  • Seeing cyclists out on the open road can be a gentle, low-pressure nudge to move your own body — light activity is well documented to support mood alongside clinical care.

A gentle note on pacing: if late-night viewing starts interfering with sleep, recorded highlights are a better option — consistent sleep remains essential for mood regulation. And this kind of sports-watching works best as a complement to established clinical care (medication, therapy, routine tracking), not a replacement for it.

🎵 Road Trip Music Therapy

A long drive with a great soundtrack can become more than just background noise — applying therapeutic music principles turns a road trip into an accessible space for emotional regulation and mental reset.

Why the Road Trip Works

  • Music directly influences heart rate, breathing, and stress hormones — faster tempos boost alertness, while slower, fluid rhythms ease tension.
  • Anticipating a musical drop or key change releases dopamine, helping counter highway fatigue.
  • Instrumental, rhythmic, or ambient genres offer just enough stimulation to stay engaged without overloading focus.

Matching the Iso-Principle to Your Drive

Trip PhaseEmotional GoalIdeal Genres
Departure / Highway EntryTransition out of daily stressDeep / Progressive House, Synthwave
Peak Scenery / DaytimeHigh energy, elevation, joyDrum & Bass, Uplifting Trance, Indie Rock
Mid-Day SlumpMental fatigue reset, alertnessFunk, Disco, High-BPM Electronic
Sunset / DuskReflection, emotional processingLofi Beats, Chillhop, Ambient / Acoustic

Singing or tapping along engages the body and can snap you out of "highway hypnosis," while passive, mindful listening to instrumental tracks lets your mind unwind. One safety note worth keeping in mind: music should support focus, not distract from it — save the more complex or intense tracks for straightforward highway stretches rather than dense city traffic.

🎮 Video Game Therapy: Apex Legends × Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Video games have shed a lot of their old stigma in recent years, and modern psychology increasingly views interactive media as a legitimate tool for processing stress. Unlike passive media, games grant direct agency — entering a state of "flow," where skill matches challenge, lets the brain disengage from real-world anxiety through structured problem-solving. Narrative-driven titles also offer a safe space to process heavy themes like grief and burnout, while multiplayer games can function as digital "third places" that ease isolation.

The Crossover Event

After years of fan requests, the "Night City Legends" crossover between Apex Legends and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners arrived as a limited-time event running July 14 – August 4, 2026. Existing Apex characters received high-tier skins modeled on the Edgerunners trio — Sparrow as David, Axle as Lucy, and Rampart as Rebecca — alongside additional Cyberpunk universe skins. The featured mode, Wildcard: Night City E-District, introduces Cyberware mechanics like the Sandevistan dash and Blackwall Breach, plus a "Cyberpsychosis" risk-reward mechanic. Skippy, Cyberpunk's talking smart pistol, returns as a Mythic weapon skin with its original voice lines.

Edgerunners leaned hard into themes of burnout and personal sacrifice, and its finale left many fans describing a genuine "Post-Edgerunners Depression" — the show's bittersweet ending was a real emotional gut-punch for its audience. That's part of why this crossover resonated so strongly: it reunites David, Lucy, and Rebecca in a non-canonical, victorious setting, giving fans a way to enjoy the trio together without the weight of their canon fates.

👨‍👩‍👧 A Family Note on Daycare Hygiene

I'm hearing more and more difficult stories about infants and toddlers getting sick at daycare, and I really think it's important for daycare facilities to take this seriously so kids aren't constantly falling ill. These illnesses can end up disrupting events that matter deeply to families — my own niece has been under the weather, and if she doesn't recover in time, she won't be in an upcoming major family photo, which has been upsetting for me and for my parents as grandparents.

If you run or work at a daycare: please make sure facilities are properly cleaned and that hygiene standards are maintained consistently. It matters more than people realize. Thank you.

Music Wednesday · Mercredi Musical

JETLAG RADIO 4900, A Decade of DJing, and This Week in Electronic Music

Aspiring member, La French Tech San Francisco 🇫🇷 — bilingual beats, world-class electronic music news

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 · Mercredi 22 Juillet 2026

🇫🇷 La French Tech San Francisco — as a Franco-American founder building a bilingual media and technology company, joining the La French Tech SF community remains a top goal. Today's Music Wednesday carries that spirit into the world of electronic music.
What's up, everybody! It's Wednesday (Mercredi), July (Juillet) 22, 2026. Today we celebrate the world of Music! I've just released JETLAG RADIO 4900 v1 — more versions are coming. C'est mercredi! Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons le monde de la musique. Je viens de sortir JETLAG RADIO 4900 v1 — d'autres versions arrivent bientôt.

🎧 JETLAG RADIO 4900 Is Here

After more than a decade of building JETLAG RADIO, episode 4,900 (v1) is now live — my main DJ podcast, with more versions on the way.

▶ Stream JETLAG RADIO 4900 on Spotify

💬 A Personal Note From Zack

I also recently watched We Are Your Friends with Zac Efron, and it hit me hard — the film used a few tracks from the first 10–20 episodes of JETLAG RADIO, recorded well over ten years ago. I couldn't afford to buy it digitally, so I put $5 from a Google Play gift card toward renting it and watched it twice. It's been a genuinely difficult stretch financially — I haven't had my usual $800/month allowance since October 2024, and I haven't drawn a salary paycheck since July 2019. I'm managing Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which brings a lot of fatigue, and Bipolar Disorder — though I'm grateful to say I've been stable for over a decade thanks to nightly medication and regular therapist visits.

The DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll has reopened for 2026/2027, and I'd be so grateful for your vote — please vote under my legal name, Zaki Qayoumi (I go by "Zack," but that's the name that needs to appear on the ballot). I consider myself one of the pioneers who helped bring electronic dance music to the Midwest, starting in Columbus, Ohio back in 2003 and spreading it throughout the U.S. — passing out flyers, bringing guestlist crowds to the club, writing my weekly TECHNO CLUBBERS newsletter on Facebook. I did that work unpaid, for free drinks, because I believed in the scene.

These days it feels like every DJ out there is on Zoom or FaceTime with other artists, building together. I don't want to keep working in isolation. Right now, about all I can afford is a coffee shop visit once a week and boba once a month — but I'd love nothing more than to collaborate: in the studio with Ferry Corsten, Tiësto, Nicky Romero, Afrojack, Hardwell, Dannic, Dyro, Martin Garrix, Madeon, Justice, Daft Punk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Charlotte de Witte, Swedish House Mafia, Max Vangeli, AN21 — the list goes on.

The wishlist: a W Hotels penthouse residency in San Francisco where I could live and DJ on weekends · an Audi ABT RS7 or Nissan Nismo Skyline GT-R, both in gunmetal silver · a renewed Crunchyroll subscription for a proper GUNDAM marathon · a flight to Amsterdam for ADE 2026 this October (any KLM folks reading this, I see you). If any of this is within your means to help with, my Venmo is @iamzaki. Thank you for reading this far, and for over a decade of support.

📺 French TV on Netflix: Keep It Coming!

There are some great series on Netflix lately — I'm especially excited about the real-life adaptations of GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), BANDI, and GIGN. It's always a joy to see French television reach a global audience on Netflix, and I really appreciate when they invest in it. Please, Netflix, keep bringing us French shows and movies — it means a lot. Merci!

💔 Third-Place Heartbreak: France 4–6 England

Alas, France lost to England in the chaotic third-place playoff at FIFA World Cup 2026. I'm very disappointed — a terrible first half, followed by second-half mistakes, cost us the match 4–6. A total disaster. Still, huge respect to the team for the run this tournament, and hats off to Mbappé for taking the Golden Boot lead despite the result.
