Finally some good news, it appears that I will hopefully receive a new vehicle, either #GermanEngineering or #JDM. Please understand that once I make a selection, I'm stuck with that vehicle for the next 5-10 years more than likely. That means, if you are a car dealership looking to sponsor me and make a donation because I am Zaki Qayoumi, the DJ of JETLAG RADIO, as people vote on the DJ Mag #Top100DJs, get in touch with me. Download my EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and let's have a discussion. Due to high insurance costs, and the fact that I am on the poverty line, and that I am waiting for disability to be approved, the vehicle must be between $20K-$39K full-size sedan. I need this new car/vehicle to move forward for ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, my Startup, my Company. Your help is more than appreciated, and I'd like to receive this by Labor Day. I want to drive this vehicle first day on Opening Day at Barnes & Noble Elk Grove on 9/15/2026. This is where I will go to work on the Laptop, drink Starbucks Coffee, and write in my journal and read books & magazines. Same way as I did, when I first became a Bookseller in High School, way before I graduated from The Ohio State University and eventually worked over a decade in Corporate before the huge #BigTech exodus.

Enfin une bonne nouvelle : il semble que je vais pouvoir acquérir un nouveau véhicule, soit de conception allemande (#GermanEngineering), soit japonais (#JDM). Sachez qu'une fois mon choix arrêté, je devrai probablement conserver ce véhicule pendant les 5 à 10 prochaines années. Par conséquent, si vous êtes un concessionnaire automobile souhaitant me sponsoriser ou faire un don — en tant que Zaki Qayoumi, DJ de JETLAG RADIO et candidat au classement #Top100DJs de DJ Mag —, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Téléchargez mon dossier de presse numérique (EPK) et discutons-en. En raison du coût élevé des assurances, de ma situation financière précaire (je vis au seuil de pauvreté) et de l'attente de la validation de mes droits à l'invalidité, le véhicule doit être une berline grand format dont le prix se situe entre 20 000 et 39 000 dollars. J'ai besoin de ce nouveau véhicule pour faire avancer ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, ma start-up et mon entreprise. Votre aide serait infiniment précieuse, et j'aimerais pouvoir disposer de ce véhicule pour la fête du Travail (Labor Day). Je souhaite le conduire pour la première fois le jour de l'inauguration du magasin Barnes & Noble d'Elk Grove, le 15 septembre 2026. C'est là que j'irai travailler sur mon ordinateur portable, boire un café Starbucks, tenir mon journal et lire livres et magazines. Je reproduirai ainsi les habitudes que j'avais lorsque j'ai débuté comme libraire au lycée, bien avant d'obtenir mon diplôme de THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY et de travailler plus de dix ans en entreprise, avant la grande vague de départs du secteur technologique (#BigTech).

Happy Medicine Thursday, everybody! Today we're covering Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and chronic illness, bipolar disorder and mental illness, music therapy, and even video-game therapy. A quick reminder while we're on the topic: your local pharmacy should have the latest COVID-19 vaccine available soon — I plan on getting mine, and I'd suggest you do the same. And please, vaccinate your kids against measles. Talk to your family physician and pediatrician; they know your history best.

💉 Public Health Reminder

COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out at pharmacies again this fall — I'm getting mine, and I'd encourage you to consider it too. And please, keep kids' measles vaccinations current; it's one of the simplest ways to keep them safe.

As always: this is general encouragement, not medical advice. Talk to your family physician or pediatrician about what's right for you and your family.

Music Therapy Spotlight

Camille Thomas & Julien Brocal — Rendez-vous

Franco-Belgian cellist Camille Thomas and pianist Julien Brocal frame their album Rendez-vous, recorded at Montana's Tippet Rise Art Center, as more than a listening experience — Brocal has paired it with "Musical Breathing" mindfulness sessions developed with psychologist Dr. Ilios Kotsou, distributed through an open-source app to help listeners manage anxiety. The record reworks contemplative classical pieces, including Bach's Ave Maria and Satie's Gymnopédie No. 3, alongside original reflective improvisations. It follows Thomas's earlier UNICEF-backed Voice of Hope project and her pandemic-era Chopin Project — both explicitly framed around music as a tool for collective and individual healing.

Gaming & Wellness

Video Games as a Communication Bridge in Primary Care

Some clinicians and mental-health researchers have explored using commercial games like sports sims as a low-stakes "shared third object" in doctor visits — something to look at together rather than a direct interrogation, which can ease the anxiety patients feel discussing chronic illness or mental health. The idea is that talking through in-game routines, setbacks, and recovery can open the door to real conversations about energy, motivation, and support systems. It's not a substitute for treatment, and clinicians caution that games with heavy microtransaction or FOMO mechanics can become their own source of stress if not used mindfully.

This is a general wellness concept, not clinical guidance — talk to your own doctor about what communication approach works for you.

Small Joys

A Large Tuna Sandwich, a Slow Afternoon

Living with bipolar disorder means the day-to-day can be a lot, so it's worth celebrating the small, steady comforts — like a proper late lunch. A large tuna sandwich, piled high, toasted just right, is one of those simple pleasures: satisfying, easy to make, and a nice built-in pause in the middle of a busy day. Fish is a great addition to a balanced plate, and honestly, half the benefit is just the ritual of sitting down, taking a real break, and enjoying something you like without rushing.

A good lunch is a nice mood boost, not a treatment plan — if you're on medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist about any food interactions specific to you.

Happy Music Wednesday, everybody! Today we're all about the world of music. JETLAG RADIO episode 4935 is live on Spotify right now, and I'm hoping to land the big JLR 5000 milestone sometime in September or October — it'll line up with the DJ MAG Top 100 DJs announcement, so it deserves to be a proper release. Nothing new yet on 13 Organisé, AKH, SCH, JUL, or Le Classico Organisé, but I'm still hoping for a "Le Classico Organisé II" compilation down the line. Keeping an eye on the new PNL album too, and the buzz around the upcoming Wu-Tang record with Inspectah Deck. Meanwhile I've been enjoying "The Documentary III" from The Game — good to see him extending an olive branch on record. If you're in high school or university, don't forget BENKYO RADIO, my LOFI study podcast — a little studying every day adds up.

🇫🇷 Proud to Pursue La French Tech San Francisco

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!

French Tech Network

Grenoble, Annecy, Chambéry, Valence-Romans, Genevois français — La French Tech Alpes is the local arm of the national French Tech movement, launched by the French State in 2013, connecting startups, talent, and investors across the Alpine corridor. It's exactly the kind of regional ecosystem I hope to be part of as I work toward La French Tech San Francisco.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Lundi 31 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Monday (Lundi) August (Août) 31st. It's the last day of the month, and it's also Monday, so it's Major Content Curation Day. There's a lot of news to go over today — enjoy all the stories I've curated myself. I appreciate y'all taking the time to read my content, and as always, if you'd like to support my work, please consider a Venmo donation or a purchase through my Razer affiliate link. It means a lot.

I'm genuinely excited because we're a little more than two weeks out from the grand opening of Barnes & Noble in Elk Grove, California. I'm grateful for this location since it'll save me on gas, and I'm hoping there are some good fast food options nearby too. I can't wait to sit in that bookstore and work on ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, on JETLAG RADIO podcasts, on my next book, and in my journal — and who knows, maybe even meet someone special along the way. It's not impossible — shout-out to Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan for the inspiration.

On a more serious note: I remain genuinely concerned about the President's fitness for the role, and I think there's real embarrassment across the military and among our NATO allies about the state of American leadership right now. There's a lot of work still to be done — the Iran/Israel conflict needs to end, and gas prices need to come back down to earth. And honestly, I could really use some financial breathing room too — even just enough for a decent meal some days. Thank you very much for reading.

Weekend Sports & Motorsport Roundup

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Samedi 29 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Saturday (Samedi) August (Août) 29, 2026. Today we celebrate Sports! I wrote this on Sunday, so you may notice some scores from that day mixed in as well. I'm very excited about Manchester United's performance — I'm watching the highlights right now — and I admire Sir Alex Ferguson's dedication to show up at the match despite hurting his left leg. Makes me want to play some FC 26 later this afternoon. I probably won't be able to afford FC 27 until Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I'm also excited about earning my first NBA 2K26 trophy, which may take an hour or so — there will be a livestream, timing still TBD. Hope y'all are enjoying my F1 '25 livestreams. If you enjoy my work as a #RazerCreator, a donation to my Venmo always helps — with $30, I can grab the F1 26 DLC. Thank you for the support. As always, here at ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, we focus on Mental Health, Emotional Support, and Music Therapy.

Videogames & Geek News

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Vendredi 28 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Friday (Vendredi) August (Août) 28, 2026. TGIF! Today we celebrate the world of videogames! Don't forget to first finish your homework for Monday morning, then enjoy your gaming consoles — whether PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, or even Sega (you never know, they might make a comeback since PS6 doesn't have discs), and of course PC. I'm livestreaming a few videogames this weekend, including F1 '25 — for Max Verstappen, my favorite Formula 1 driver. As always, here at ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, we focus on Mental Health, Emotional Support, and Music Therapy.

PS. I'm happy to announce I have Crunchyroll for a month — better resume my GUNDAM marathon. PPS. Be sure to always tune in to my PlayStation livestreams on YouTube. I'm at LVL 499 on PSN and can't wait for a big celebration livestream for LVL 500 — that number matters to me since it's also the episode count of Naruto Shippuden. I'll be marking it solo this time rather than with a bigger celebration, since I've been divorced for about a year now due to financial struggles — but here's hoping Razer notices and sends a Care Package my way! PPPS. Don't forget to vote for me, Zaki Qayoumi, in the DJ Mag #Top100DJs poll.

Medicine & Health News

🌀 Why Bipolar Disorder May Build Empathy for Complex TV Narratives

Living with bipolar disorder can shape how a person processes stories, and some find it creates a natural bridge to complex, non-linear television. Mood episodes can bring racing thoughts, fractured timelines, and heightened pattern-recognition — which may make fragmented or multi-layered storytelling (psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators, multi-timeline sci-fi like Dark, chaotic character studies like BoJack Horseman) feel less alienating and more like a mirror. For many, these shows can serve as a safe, external space to process the unpredictable nature of their own mental landscape.

🎤 “Music Therapy” and The Game's The Documentary III

“Music therapy” has become a recurring theme around The Game's eleventh studio album, The Documentary III, released August 21, 2026. The 24-track project was shaped in part by Champagne Therapy Music Group, led by producer Tommy Brown (TBHits), with standout collaborations including “40 Nights” featuring Kanye West and “No Brakes” featuring Drake. The Game has described the project as “therapy for the culture” — a gritty return to street poetry positioned as a reset for hip-hop. Critics have noted its reflective tone, describing the record as a raw, self-confrontational session addressing his legacy, past feuds, and inner life as a veteran independent artist.

🧠 Metal Gear Solid as a Lens for Processing Trauma

Beyond its technical acclaim, the Metal Gear Solid series — particularly MGS4: Guns of the Patriots and Peace Walker — has drawn attention from clinical writers as a case study in how games can help players process real-world themes like trauma, grief, and identity. In MGS4, “Old Snake” confronts a lifetime of accumulated trauma and physical decline, offering an empathetic framework for players navigating their own chronic struggles. Peace Walker centers on Big Boss's unresolved grief over his mentor. Broader industry surveys, like the Gamer Wellbeing Study, have reported that a majority of gamers feel gaming has a positive effect on their mental health, citing agency and emotional catharsis as key factors in high-intensity narrative games.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Jeudi 27 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Thursday (Jeudi) August (Août) 27, 2026. Today we discuss the world of Medicine. I want you all to cherish your health insurance if you have good coverage, because I don't — after years of navigating MEDI-CAL, I was finally able to schedule an appointment at a local clinic for tomorrow. I miss my family physician back in Modesto, CA — she was, and still is, a great doctor. I haven't been able to see her since losing solid coverage, and honestly, the state of American health insurance can feel like a real disgrace sometimes. I'll try to livestream some NBA 2K26 later to say hello. By the way, The Pitt Season 3 is on the way to streaming — keep an eye out. And a reminder to any doctors reading: keep up with the medical journals, and write one yourself whenever you can. Thank you.
