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.

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.

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.

🌀 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.

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.

🚗 Still Searching for a Vehicle Donation

zack.coffee launched over ten years ago, in April 2014, and getting a reliable vehicle remains a long-standing goal of mine. If you represent a car brand — #GermanEngineering or #JDM, any make or model — interested in a donation, I'd love to talk. Given the reach of ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC and JETLAG RADIO, I'd be glad to feature the vehicle and the brand across my platforms.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Mercredi 26 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! It's Wednesday (Mercredi) August (Août) 26, 2026. Today we celebrate the world of Music. I'll do my best to watch the movie MICHAEL this week. It's a reminder of just how difficult Michael Jackson's childhood was, growing up in the spotlight with the Jackson Five, and how much scrutiny and controversy followed him throughout his life and career. It's a complicated story, and I'm curious to see how the film handles it.

Note from the editor: I've kept this closing note focused on Michael Jackson's well-documented childhood and public life. I left out a few unverified claims from the original draft — including that he was a secret agent and that Neverland was used to shield children from Jeffrey Epstein — since there's no credible evidence for either, and I don't publish unverified claims like that about real people, living or deceased.

🎬 Gamescom 2026 & Neo Berlin 2087

Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live keynote — a 3-hour show, though disappointingly with zero mention of Neo Berlin 2087.

The Neo Berlin 2087 trailer actually dropped a week or so early. It touches on self-harm, which I found jarring — especially with the game now delayed until 2028. Viewer discretion advised.

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Mardi 25 Août 2026

What's up, everybody! Today is Tuesday (Mardi) August (Août) 25, 2026. We celebrate Geeks, Nerds, Otakus, Intellos, Strebers. Today was the Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Keynote. Unfortunately, there was zero mention of Neo Berlin 2087 during the 3-hour conference — the trailer had actually dropped a week or so early, and it showed self-harm, which was pretty unsettling, especially since the game is now delayed until 2028. Anyway, I'm in a frustrated mood, and you can expect new episodes of my VLOGs very shortly — a new “Coffee with Zaki” in French is upon us. I'll be honest, it's genuinely discouraging that after everything I've put into this, I still can't afford a new vehicle or get a car donated to help with the work I do. It feels like people expect all of this for free, and after more than a decade of that, it wears on you.

🕊️ Five Years Since the Withdrawal from Afghanistan

This week marks five years since U.S. troops evacuated Afghanistan, and the country has remained under Taliban rule ever since. We hope for a better day in that region of the world someday. Let us hope that one day, Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud — son of Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud — will help lead that nation toward a future where men and women can live in peace, and where children and teens can go to school, regardless of gender.
