We did it. We politely yet impatiently asked Jesus, Allah, Buddha, (and the Autobots) for rain for the past couple of months, and now, Northern California will receive some. The downside is that there will be some mud slides and dangerous weather-related activity near the Lake Tahoe region. The upside is that it ought to be the end of Summer Fire Season in the region. If projections stay: “Once In A Century Type Storm’ Sunday To Monday is on its way. Be prepared, and be careful.

Until Next Time!

BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 380 & BENKYO RADIO 380.

I hope everybody had fun at Amsterdam Dance Event 2021 and the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs party. Congrats to all the winners! Looks like David Guetta won this year. Check out one of my favorite songs by him “Everytime We Touch.” Sama Abdulhadi should have made the list, and I hope she does next year. Very excited about Amelie Lens being on the list.

I think that Nick Bostrom has made a lot of progress on his next book (He wrote “Superintelligence”). Can’t wait for his next writings!

I just got AIRWOLF on DVD. About 10 years ago I was MEDEVAC from a serious car accident. I’d like to think those guys/gals are still out there saving lives. They are real-life superheroes. I think of them everyday.

I’m hoping for new avatars on the way, including Bumblebee, which I’m crazy excited about!

I got 2 NFTs from DC Fandome, including Wonder-woman and Superman. I’d love to get Batman.

I am very excited about RazerCon 2021! There are going to be lots of cool and fun announcements! I hope we hear more about the “concept” laptop that slides down two additional screens to turn into a super 3 monitor setup. We may be a few more years away from this, but damn, that would be so cool and futuristic! If Intel is sponsoring the event, I hope we hear more about ARC (GPU), but I hope we still get new AMD options. It would be fun also if Razer did a Samsung Odyssey style super big monitor. Also, please announce that Steam and other gaming app are compatible with Windows 11, so we have better peace of mind before we upgrade. I want to upgrade, but not if all my apps stop working. Super excited that FL Studio will make a presentation! Love some inspiration!

While everybody is excited about the new Apple products, here is something that we must remember. Apple pushed all of us to use a bunch of adaptors for USB-C, and 5 years later, they’re essentially selling us a 2008 laptop. It’s nice that it has HDMI and SD card slot but still no regular USB ports, you’ll still need an adaptor for those. These new laptops sound incredibly amazing, but still out of reach for the average user. Tim Cook has a chance to redeem himself by doing the following: releasing a new Mac Mini with M1 Pro & M1 Max. He can definitely make it affordable because it won’t have a screen and it’s not a laptop. A new Mac Mini (available in the rainbow colors of the new iMac) would sell like hotcakes. Please make it happen. If you want me to dip my toes into Logic Pro again, please release a new Mac Mini ASAP. Don’t make us wait many more months. Need I remind you that there are huge Microsoft announcements on the horizon including #RazerCon2021. I can either go for a Mac Mini soon, or start working on a “Starship Enterprise”-looking monitors setup. Thanks for listening.

Until Next Time!

In order for kids and teenagers to enjoy Halloween, please make sure that they are wearing masks! Especially if they are under 12 years old and not yet vaccinated. If you’re passing out candy, you lead by example if you wear a mask. The Children are here to have fun, not catch COVID-19. Everybody will be more appreciative if adults & teenagers in your household are vaccinated. Enjoy!

Until Next Time!

there is an Apple Event next week! So excited to see what is announced! While I love my beloved Razer laptop (it can run the Crysis Remastered Trilogy), I am eager to see Tim Cook’s next chapter in the MacOS & Swift ecosystem.

I would like to thank everyone involved for adding a collection of 32 Palestinian films to Netflix. This is a huge win, especially because they do exist and they have a right to share their stories with the World.

Until Next Time!
