What’s up, everybody, here is the July 17th, 2024 update. As always, the easter egg about JETLAG RADIO number is in the URL, hopefully someday you’ll catch up to me at 2099. Do you remember HTML? Chances are, you don’t even know what Dreamweaver is. Sigh. Anyway. Can’t wait for the next Diggnation Reunion episode. In the meantime, another VLOG, and more Coffee With Zack (English) and Coffee With Zaki (French) on their way, into-the-future. PS. I’m sorry I couldn’t afford an XBOX, another bill came up. I talked to Satya Nadella, you can now play XBOX on the Big Screen with an Amazon Fire Stick ULTRA. $80, you get an XBOX Controller, the stick, and a XBOX 3 months PASS. Did you do your homework? Good job. No more need for that $500 console that your poor father could not afford, go get that goddamn deal and enjoy. This is Master Chief, saying, stay in school, kids. We’re going back on HALO. Go ahead guys, sing the song in every bathroom around the Planet.

Until Next Time!
