Tuesday (Mardi) August (Août) 11, 2026

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. Dōyara, Doitsu-sha burando to JDM (nipponkokunai ichiba-muke) burando no dochiraga shōsha to naru ka o meguru, sekai-tekina gyanburu Mafia no an'yaku ga karande iru yōdesu. Tōmen wa kuruma ga 1-dai areba jūbun'nanoni, kōshita jitai ni wa hontōni iradata sa remasu. Tairīsu (Tyrese) no yō ni garēji o kuruma de ippai ni dekiru hodo no yoyū wa, watashiniha arimasenkara.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Vendredi 7 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Friday (Vendredi) August (Août) 7, 2026. TGIF! Today we celebrate the world of Videogames. There's obviously big excitement given the new release of that Marvel fighting game — I'm sure everyone at EVO is super-excited.

I haven't picked up Halo yet. I hope to do so whenever I can afford to, but I also need Pragmata, and James Bond: First Light 007. Doing my best, but as I've previously mentioned, my startup is “bootstrapped” — meaning no outside venture capitalists nor angel investors. All the funding is either mostly from myself or my father, when he gives me a $20 bill here and there. It's been very tough.

Anyway, I plan a massive livestream of Cyberpunk 2077 in Japanese (with English subtitles) and The Crew: Motorfest — maybe other games as well. Of course, I livestream Death Stranding 2: On The Beach sporadically.

EDM on Campus: Music Therapy for Students

Music therapy uses electronic dance music (EDM) on campus to help college students lower stress, build social bonds, and express emotions safely through guided movement and collective dancing.

How EDM Helps Students

  • Stress Relief: Fast bass beats match high energy and help release built-up school tension.
  • Mood Boost: Upbeat electronic rhythms trigger happy brain chemicals.
  • Safe Spaces: Campus dance events create judgment-free zones for student connection.
  • Mindful Movement: Dancing lets students process heavy feelings without using words.

Setting Up Campus Programs

  • Collaborate: Partner with student health centers and campus DJ clubs.
  • Keep Volumes Safe: Monitor sound levels to protect student hearing during sessions.
  • Offer Guidance: Have trained music therapists lead warm-ups and cool-downs.
  • Inclusive Spaces: Provide sober dance zones and quiet rest areas nearby.

Halo: Campaign Evolved Arrives on PS5

Halo is officially on PlayStation 5, meaning you can now experience the grounding, stress-relieving benefits of the franchise on a Sony console for the first time. Halo: Campaign Evolved — a ground-up Unreal Engine 5 remake of Master Chief's original story — has launched on the PlayStation Store.

How Halo on PS5 Functions as Video Game Therapy

  • Tactile Grounding (DualSense Haptics): The PS5 version uses DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. In mindfulness and therapy, physical sensations are used as “anchors” to pull your brain out of an anxious spiral — feeling the distinct vibrations of a plasma rifle or a Warthog engine provides excellent sensory grounding.
  • Low-Stress, Nostalgic Sandbox: The game focuses entirely on the narrative campaign, eliminating the toxic stress often found in sweaty, competitive online matchmaking. Re-visiting the iconic green vistas of Alpha Halo in stunning 4K offers a deeply nostalgic, comforting mental escape.
  • Re-Recorded “Acoustic Therapy”: The legendary soundtrack has been fully remastered alongside immersive 3D audio. Slipping on headphones and letting the sweeping strings and Gregorian chants block out the outside world is an incredibly therapeutic ritual.
  • Low-Barrier Social Connection: Isolation is a major driver of depression. Campaign Evolved supports both classic 2-player local couch co-op and up to 4-player online co-op with seamless cross-play — an easy way to hang out and bond with friends on other platforms.

Where to Play

The game is available digitally and physically across standard retail channels: digitally via the PlayStation Store, or physically at retailers like GameStop or Best Buy.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Jeudi 6 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! Today is Thursday (Jeudi) August (Août) 6, 2026. Shoutout to every doctor around the world — I hope you find the time to read medical journals, and to write one when you find the time.

I miss you, Dr. Aline Guillet. I am very excited about the planets aligning in the sky, but unfortunately there's wildfire smoke in the sky, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch the stars/planets at night along with the meteor shower at the El Dorado Hills Observatory. Plus, I need gas money, which I don't have.

At the very least, I'll play some more Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (Trilogy), which will take forever before I get to Mass Effect: Andromeda. It does feel like you are so far away, Aline, since I could never afford to come visit and have a cup of coffee or some food to catch up. Maybe listen and dance to some music.

🎧 JETLAG RADIO 4900 — Now Streaming

My latest and biggest podcast to date, JETLAG RADIO 4900, is out now — over 250 songs/tracks in this version. More versions are coming, but this is the main latest podcast for the foreseeable future. In the next version, I'll add some tracks from SCH, another great French rapper.

There won't be any new JETLAG RADIO episodes for a while — I'm holding off until I receive a new or used car/vehicle donation. More on that below.

Car Talk: Layoffs, New Models & My Ongoing Search

8,000 layoffs at BMW just got announced. Audi just announced the Q9. As always, I am eager to receive a car donation — so far, no car brand has come forward. It appears that the dream of a German-engineering luxury car brand might be over. Without a fancy salary, I've watched countless YouTube videos about how expensive maintenance costs are for these vehicles — something I can't handle right now. So the best option is a Nissan or a Toyota.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution won't be out for a while. I'm really upset they don't make the Maxima anymore — it's my ideal car, especially tuned up. I love JDM anyway; it'd be a dream if a car shop could upgrade one with NISMO parts. I hear the Infiniti is coming back — great news, since it's kind of like a mini-Skyline, though still quite expensive.

Today's Music & Culture Headlines

Note: the “Ken Carson x WWE” item from Complex was submitted without a working link — leaving it unlinked here rather than pointing it at the wrong story.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Mercredi 5 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Wednesday (Mercredi) August (Août) 5, 2026. Today we celebrate the world of Music. Happy 805 Day to those who celebrate 805 Beer! I'd rather drink imports — that's why I'd prefer a Sapporo (Japan) instead.

I understand that Jul, the French rapper, was being targeted by the DZ Mafia and had to leave Marseille, so I was very happy that one of the leaders of DZ Mafia was recently caught in Algeria. Hope y'all are enjoying the latest version of JETLAG RADIO 4900 — over 250 songs/tracks.

As always, we won't see JETLAG RADIO 4901 for a while. I'm waiting until I receive a new or used car donation — it's very important to me. Most EDM DJs got a Lambo after 50 podcasts; I've made over 4,900 podcasts of JETLAG RADIO. It's time someone offers me a brand-new vehicle, whether German-engineering or JDM. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Don't forget to vote for me in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll for 2026/2027. Let's get ZAKI QAYOUMI on the front cover of DJ Mag. Thanks for your help.

I'm actively working toward joining La French Tech San Francisco, and I'm especially excited about the La French Tech NOVA program, which supports high-potential entrepreneurs from under-represented and minority backgrounds — entrepreneurs like myself — with mentoring, investor connections, and access to the broader French Tech network. Fingers crossed!

Geeks, Nerds & Tech: Today's Top Headlines

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Mardi 4 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Tuesday (Mardi) August (Août) 4, 2026. Today we celebrate Geeks, Nerds, Otakus, Intellos, and Strebers. I think it's also Barack Obama's birthday, but anyway, what's important is that I really need a new car/vehicle. Please help, thank you.

A big thank you to all the Geeks/Nerds around the globe — I'm watching The Big Bang Theory lately, and while I'd love to date a Victoria's Secret model, I think I'm going to need a girlfriend and eventually future wife who does Neuroscience and has a PhD, so she isn't bored to death with the mountain of work that I've been doing over the last decade.

Major Content Curation: World Affairs, Diplomacy & Technology

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Lundi 3 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! Today is Monday (Lundi), August (Août) 3, 2026. It's Monday, therefore it's time for Major Content Curation. Hope you are cheerful with these latest news.

There will be a new episode of my world-famous “Coffee with Zack” VLOG in English later this week — sorry for the delays, unexpected events. I will do my best to catch up when I can.

The Barnes & Noble Elk Grove bookstore grand opening is still slated for Fall 2026. It was supposed to be Summer but it got delayed — that means, at the very least, not until September 22, 2026 evening. That's unfortunate. Anyway, can't wait.

P.S. There are about 4 old VLOGs on “back-order” (traveling to the past) and 2 new VLOGs (traveling to the present and future) for this week, for a total of 6 new VLOGs total. I'm going to do my best to record some soon.

What's up, everybody! It's Friday (Vendredi) July (Juillet) 31, 2026. TGIF! Today we celebrate the world of Videogames! Now unfortunately, I don't expect any livestreams this weekend — I have some family in town. Don't worry, next week I will be able to livestream during weekdays!

I miss “The Crew: Motorfest” already! Also, the rumor-mill says that we can anticipate Forza Horizon 6 for the PS5 around August or September if all goes well! I'm super-excited! Japan (in-the-game), here we come!
