The news is not good, I thought I was going to get a new vehicle soon, but it did not materialize. 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 Thanksgiving/Black Friday. Given that Barnes & Noble Elk Grove, CA has poor cell phone reception and zero parking, I cannot work on the computer from there. I will continue to visit B&N Roseville & B&N Folsom instead. Meanwhile, I will continue to work from Temple Coffee. Still waiting for Blue Bottle Coffee to open a real location in Sacramento, CA.

Les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes : je pensais acquérir un nouveau véhicule prochainement, mais cela ne s'est pas concrétisé. J'hésite entre une voiture allemande (#GermanEngineering) et une japonaise (#JDM). Sachez qu'une fois mon choix arrêté, je devrai probablement conserver ce véhicule pendant les 5 à 10 prochaines années. Si vous êtes un concessionnaire automobile et que vous souhaitez me sponsoriser ou faire un don — en tant que Zaki Qayoumi, DJ de JETLAG RADIO et candidat au classement #Top100DJs de DJ Mag —, contactez-moi. 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, mon entreprise. Votre aide serait très précieuse, et j'aimerais pouvoir disposer de ce véhicule pour Thanksgiving ou le Black Friday. Comme la réception mobile est mauvaise et qu'il n'y a pas de parking chez Barnes & Noble à Elk Grove (Californie), je ne peux pas y travailler sur ordinateur. Je continuerai donc à fréquenter les établissements B&N de Roseville et de Folsom. En attendant, je continuerai à travailler depuis Temple Coffee. J'attends toujours que Blue Bottle Coffee ouvre un véritable point de vente à Sacramento (Californie).

Thursday (Jeudi), September (Septembre) 24, 2026

What's up, everybody! Today we discuss the world of Medicine. A very interesting week since I fell under the weather a few days ago — thankfully I got some DayQuil/NyQuil, and I'm hoping to feel better soon. I missed part of the UN General Assembly live, but I caught up with clips on YouTube — Macron's speech was well received. Getting sick is also a good reminder that it's Fall Season: if you haven't yet, it's a great time to get your flu shot and COVID-19 booster. If you have children, make sure they're caught up on their MMR (measles) vaccine and other routine immunizations. Protecting the people you love matters — thanks for reading.

🩺 Fall Health Reminder: Flu shots and COVID-19 boosters are now widely available — talk to your pharmacist or doctor about timing. If you have kids, check that their MMR and other routine childhood vaccinations are up to date.

🧬 Medical Conditions & Research

What Is clEDS? Understanding Classical-like Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeEhlers-Danlos Society

clEDS is an ultra-rare heritable connective tissue disorder affecting fewer than 1 in 1 million people, marked by severe skin hyperextensibility, velvety skin texture, generalized joint hypermobility, and easy bruising.

🧠 Mental Health & Psychology

Using Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections as a Mental Health Self-Care ToolGaming & Wellness

Fast-paced fighting games can offer grounding focus, structured goal loops, and a comforting sense of narrative resilience. Practical guardrails: play solo on low-energy days, and cap sessions to 30–45 minutes to protect your physical health too.

Note: This is general wellness framing, not clinical guidance — video games are a supplement to, never a replacement for, care from a licensed mental health professional.

🎻 Music, Arts & Culture

"Philip Glass for Cello" — Camille Thomas' New Album, Out Now on Deutsche GrammophonDeutsche Grammophon

Recorded with the Brussels Philharmonic under conductor Oscar Jockel, the double album pairs Glass's rarely performed Cello Concertos with new transcriptions of his film scores — timed ahead of the composer's 90th birthday. The project grew out of Thomas' 2020 album "Voice of Hope," often associated with healing and musical therapy.

🇺🇳 A Shout-Out to Everyone at the UN in New York

A big shout-out to everyone at the United Nations this week. I continue to stand with the Palestinian people and believe their treatment on the world stage deserves far better than it's gotten. And a nod to President Macron — France holds the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of September 2026. Keep up the important work.

🦇 #BatmanDay 🦇

A spotlight on the Dark Knight — September 19, 2026. Celebrate across the nation and the world.

I am Zaki Qayoumi, also known as “Zack” — Founder, CEO, COO, CTO, Senior Project Manager, Director, President, VP, Chairman-of-the-Board, and Editor-In-Chief of ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC.

La French Tech San Francisco & NOVA

Color theme inspired by La French Tech SF (San Francisco) — bleu, blanc, rouge. I want to join La French Tech San Francisco. I am very excited about the La French Tech NOVA program, which helps minorities who are entrepreneurs such as myself.

Our work focuses on Technology, World Affairs, Affaires Étrangères, Electronic Music, and Diplomacy / Diplomatie. There are over 1,360 PlayStation 5 livestreams and over 439 VLOGs — Coffee with Zack in English and Coffee with Zaki in French. Different content for both.

From Zack — Samedi 19 Septembre 2026

What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday (Samedi) September (Septembre) 19, 2026. It’s #BatmanDay! I hope you find ways to enjoy the celebrations throughout the nation and the world. There’s a lot of Sports going on this weekend, enjoy watching each game. I was very disappointed by Ohio State’s performance last week, therefore I implore the team not to party hard Friday night, get good sleep, and work hard on Saturday. Now, that’s normal for y’all.

Obviously, because I am an Executive, and CEO of Zack Technology LLC, I work hard, I work late, I work nights, because I am trying to earn an honest living, due to severe discrimination in the workplace because I was born a refugee, even though I am a French-American Dual-Citizen. Remember, that’s the last 8 years without a salary paycheck from an employer. With over 30,000 job applications. Let’s hope my Disability Checks are approved soon. Tired of these terrible conditions, I suffer from a Mental Illness and Chronic Illness. Disability Checks would help me stop being a prisoner. I could travel more. I could make purchases. I could go grocery shopping. I can’t even remember when is the last time I ate a Croque Monsieur or Croque Madame. I am very upset.

Anyway, expect more videogames livestreams this weekend. Since it’s 9/19, expect a Porsche Hypercar 919 lap around the Nürburgring in Gran Turismo 7. As I have done before in the past.

Happy Medicine Thursday, everybody! Today we're focused on the world of medicine — specifically Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, music therapy, and video-game therapy. A special hello to today's audience of doctors and nurses: I'd genuinely love to hear what medical journals you're reading right now, and what you're working on writing yourselves.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Akhenaton!

Today is the actual birthday of Akhenaton, the voice of IAM and my favorite French rapper of all time. Happy birthday to him! Go re-listen to JETLAG RADIO episodes 916 (#916Day), 917, and 918 — some of my favorite episodes in the whole catalog, and a fitting way to celebrate.

Today's Curation

The Ehlers-Danlos Society

What Is EDS?

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders caused by genetic changes affecting connective tissue. Each type has its own distinct diagnostic criteria, though features like joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility appear across most types.

Psychology Today

Can We Really Learn To Slow Down Time?

A look at the psychology and physics of subjective time perception — why some periods of life feel like they drag while others fly by, and whether attention and novelty can genuinely change how time feels.

Music Therapy & Trauma

How Music Therapy Helps The Trauma Brain

Music therapy uses active and receptive musical interventions — therapeutic songwriting, group drumming, improvisation, lyric analysis — to help regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol, and give trauma survivors a non-verbal way to process experience and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Music can also occasionally trigger difficult memories or overstimulation, which is why this work should be guided by a board-certified music therapist. You can find one through the American Music Therapy Association or the Certification Board for Music Therapists.

Video Games & Reflection

Video-Games Therapy: The Crew Motorfest's Chase Squad Playlist

The Year 2 DLC's "seek and chase" storyline — tactical takedowns, high-speed pursuit, and a structured final "Dogs VS Cats" event — offers the kind of clear, rule-bound intensity that can produce a genuine flow state: full immersion that quiets negative thought loops and grounds you in the present moment, with the predictability of clear objectives helping to lower hypervigilance.

This is a reflection on game design and flow states, not a treatment recommendation.

Happy Music Wednesday, everybody! Today we celebrate the world of music. A few thoughts on the way, on money, medicine, and who should be steering the ship politically — I'll share where my head's at down below. But first, the big stuff.

🎧 JETLAG RADIO 5000 — A Huge Milestone

JETLAG RADIO just hit episode 5000. A genuinely huge one for the podcast series — thank you to everyone who's listened along the way. Also: today was the last day to vote in the DJ MAG #Top100DJs poll for 2026. Thank you to everyone who voted for ZAKI QAYOUMI — it means a lot.

🎂 Tomorrow: Akhenaton's Birthday

Tomorrow is Akhenaton's birthday — my favorite French rapper of all time, and the voice of IAM. I've been following his music since I was about 5 years old, and for over 35 years his albums have stuck with me. He's the best, full stop. You can find and support his music at FNAC and Amazon — unfortunately, it's not carried in Barnes & Noble stores here in the US.

If you want to revisit some deep cuts from the archive, go back and re-listen to JETLAG RADIO episodes 916 (#916Day), 917, and 918 (the day after Akhenaton's birthday) — some of my favorite episodes, and ones that used to live permanently on my Spotify Car Thing back when that device still worked. Can't afford a proper sound system for the car right now, but the music still hits the same either way.

A little personal history for context: I attended and graduated from Winton Woods High School (Warriors), Class of 2001, and later The Ohio State University (Buckeyes), Class of 2009. Between the cost of medical care and everything else, putting together even a modest car sound system has stayed out of reach — genuinely frustrating when you look at what other people manage to afford. It's part of why I've been thinking a lot about healthcare policy lately — Medicare for All, universal coverage, the whole conversation. I've got questions I'm turning over about who steps up next on the Democratic side heading into 2028 — Kamala Harris, AOC, whether someone like Senator Alex Padilla could build real momentum with Latino voters. No firm answers from me today, just thinking out loud. Curious what you all think.

What's up, everybody! Today we celebrate Geeks, Nerds, Otakus, Intellos, and Strebers — the people keeping the servers running and the culture interesting. Big news on the local front: I finally made it out to the new Barnes & Noble in Elk Grove tonight. Full field report below, then we get into the tech.

📚 Field Report: Barnes & Noble, Elk Grove

I'd been counting down to this one for weeks, so here's the honest review. Getting there is the first challenge — GPS does not give you the best route, and once you arrive, parking is genuinely tight. Inside, there's essentially zero cell reception, the way it goes in a Walmart or any big-box build. The Wi-Fi was available but slow enough that working on it took patience.

The staff and baristas, though, were friendly and helpful — no complaints there, though it did take me the better part of an hour to track someone down who could point me toward the somewhat hidden door to the restrooms. I grabbed a coffee, got a little computer work done, and watched what felt like close to 500 people move through the store, most of them walking out with $50 to $250 worth of books. Business is clearly good.

I had my eye on a $20 magazine but skipped it this round. Still waiting on my disability determination, so the budget goes where it has to go for now. Grand opening energy was real, and I'll be back — hopefully with a book next time.

✔ Friendly staff ✔ Good coffee ✔ Packed house ✘ Tricky GPS route ✘ Limited parking ✘ No cell reception ✘ Slow Wi-Fi
