What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday, June 7th, 2025. It’s my 16th anniversary of my Ohio State Graduation from Class of 2009. It’s quite upsetting to me because after 7 years of retail work, 14 years of Corporate experience, and 7 years of work (unpaid), I have yet to receive my brand-new car. Something that every new Salary employee has the ability to do. If you know me, you know I have a lot of side-gigs, and unfortunately, lately, none of them pay. Whether diplomat, intelligence officer, democract, student, Onizuka, AFA advisor, project manager, business analyst, driver, wheelman, etc, no salary. I used to get $500/month before, but not since November 2024. It’s been a long 7 months period with essentially no funds. Inability to perform important duties. Duties which a lot of important people depend on. I may have to turn my work into movies/tv shows/books/music. I may have to become an actor, or voice actor. I’d love to work for Kojima Productions. The PHYSINT movie will take 6 years. That may might be enough time to transform my body into SOLID SNAKE type. Unlikely though. Who knows, if I get enough supporters.

PS. LA RIOTS over ICE RAIDS are dangerous. Please stay home. Don’t get caught in the streets, and arrested without your driver license. It might be a nightmare. Another nightmare, the majority of y’all, don’t even have an emergency number memorized for your one phone call. Now you remember BENKYO RADIO, the importance of that College/University Education. It’s the Summer. Stay home, be productive, and write to your Congressman/Congresswoman/Senator/Governor then call him/her.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, Hump-Day, June 4th, 2025. I hope you have a wonderful middle-of-the-week, there’s a lot going on this week. Given that I have more time to myself, because of pure exhaustion, burnout, and a current divorce battle that is saddening me, I am going through boxes and enjoying reading previous issues of Computer Music and Future Music, something I’ve been dying to do, but Trump won in 2016, and then Trump won in 2024. I just couldn’t let America on a path towards destruction. You’ve seen it, with the FAA freaking out over the Air Traffic Controllers stuck with an archaic system. You’ve seen it, with the stupid DOGE department from Elon Musk, which fired so many staff members, and now the Government is not up to the task. You’ve seen it, when the current SecDef (nowhere near the level of expertise as the previous SecDef) fired 20% of 4-star Generals, and literally the week thereafter, we experience almost total chaos between Pakistan and India. While numerous Organizations face layoffs, it should never affect the 18 Intelligence Agencies. It’s not the “Deep State.” It’s numerous American Citizens, from all walks of life, from all sorts of ethnicities who work very hard, get up in the morning (or in some cases, work by night) and make sure that this country stays safe, on a daily basis. It’s hard work. The Country depends on these men and women. The World depends on these men and women. Do NOT take them lightly. Their work it is of utmost importance, despite the #TrumpTVshow, now in its “2nd Season.” I hate the #TrumpMatrix, you hate the #TrumpMatrix, but until the Midterms 2026, and the Presidential Elections 2028, I suggest you stay vigilant, because those idiots, those #MAGAcult, those QAnon, those #Jan6th Insurrectionists, could strike again at any time, and it’s very scary. That’s why The Democrats need to be working way better in the future. People are eager to become Independent. This is sad. Why is that? This is because when Biden/Kamala were in charge, all branches of the GOVT were Democratic, and a lot of legislations did NOT get passed. It’s frustrating. Do NOT let the Republicans always have the upper hand simply because they “carry all the guns with the NRA.” This is ridiculous. Biden may have not have Obama’s candor, but the past is the past, what’s done is done, and we have to look at the future. Democrats must win in 2026/2028. Thank you for reading/listening.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. A big shoutout to #GeeksNerdsOtakus! Tonight, a new VLOG in French (Coffee With Zaki) not to be confused with the English VLOG (Coffee With Zack). Yes, damnit, I am the same person, I am Bilingual. In fact, Trilingual. Anyway. That’s for later. Many of us in the Tech Industry are extremely concerned about the “AI Causing a White Collar Bloodbath” and I have included a new video from Economy Media. It’s very scary stuff. There needs to be a viable fast solution to get us out of this mess. The best way in my humble opinion is to immediately offer a way to provide abilities for people in the Tech Industry, especially Entry-Level folks to be able to code/program in “Low-Code/No-Code Application Development” into AI programs. This will make them “Low-Level” AI Programmers, and give them a foot in the door. It’s possible, we have success stories where you can already tell ChatGPT to write a few lines of Python, or maybe someday, what a lot of us would like to work on, get ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok/Meta/CoPilot/LeChat (Mistral) to eventually write R Programming code by itself. That would help me at ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC tremendously. Let’s work towards it! Let’s get it done! PS. There’s a Sony Playstation “State of Play” tomorrow on Wednesday! Set your reminders! There’s an XBOX one later on Sunday. Summer Game Fest is on Friday and the whole weekend but I have a meeting so I will watch on DVR.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, June 2nd, 2025. What an intense weekend! It was the Champions League Final, and PSG won. While the city of Paris was in JUBILEE, unfortunately, there was a lot of unrest. Over 700 people arrested, over 200 wounded, many in questioning, and 2 dead. There even was a Police Officer from Bretagne in an induced coma due to his injuries. I am extremely proud for the city of Paris, for PSG, because now maybe more people will watch la LIGUE 1. Unfortunately, winning the UCL DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD DESTROY CITY STREETS. Even with Champs-Elysées completely boarded up, there were a lot of damages in the city of Paris. I specifically sent out a warning later into the weekend, when it was clear that the unrest would continue into 4-5AM, into Sunday, into later on. I specifically told and warn all those youths: is it really worth getting into fights with the CRS, eventually being booked, and potentially receive a Fichier S label? Is that what you want? Many of you are Students, and having an arrest on your record can ruin your chance at a better life, at a job, at future studies, etc etc.

PS. Monday’s VLOG is up. French VLOG up tomorrow night (Tuesday) hopefully.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Saturday, May 31st, 2025. Today is the day! CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL! PSG won! It was so good! I loved the French Commentaries from RTL France! I wore my PSG Polo, PSG Hat, and PSG scarf! I celebrated by watching MISSION IMPOSSIBLE in IMAX. It was awesome. I also had a Heineken 0.0% Alcoholic Beer later that night to lead by example. You see, it’s Graduation Weekend for many High Schoolers and College/University Students this end of the month. What they don’t realize is that they party too hard, and they get into deadly car accidents. Why finally graduate only to end in a funeral? Take your life more seriously. Don’t drink & drive. Trust me, our lives are much easier than Police Officers, EMTs, Doctors/Nurses, and Firefighters. Do you have any idea what a human body looks like after a deadly car accident? Trust me, you don’t want to know. It’s disturbing. That image is engraved in your head forever. So do us all a favor, if you’re going to drink, use an Uber/Lyft, Cab, Train, Flight, etc. Thank you, and your parents thank you as well.

And not “Ladies Night” where people in the Technology Sector like to catch women who somehow have the capital to fly to Vegas on Thursday and be back to work on Monday. How can they afford it? What is it, that they do at work? Except chit-chat in the Zoom/Microsoft Teams/Slash chatrooms? Let’s investigate. No wonder over 65,000 people have been let go since 2025 in Technology. I still don’t have my job back at #IntelCorp, so they had to let 40,000 people go and over 600,000 let go at the beginning of the Pandemic in 2020, WTH were they “doing” at The Office? (^o^)!, who were essentially deemed useless because they couldn’t perform patches. But I can. And I still don’t get paid. Ridiculous. Someone is going to have to pay my invoices. Eventually.

Until Next Time!
