🇫🇷 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!

Coffee with Zack ☕ — Mardi 11 Août 2026
What's up, everybody! It's Tuesday (Mardi) August (Août) 11, 2026. Today we celebrate Geeks, Nerds, Otakus, Intellos, and Strebers. I'm happy to announce that after a long rebuild, Digg.com is back and you can finally access it with a login via Twitter! I included one of their stories in today's update, and I look forward to Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht being back with a new episode of Diggnation soon.
Speaking of which, I shouldn't forget about Tim Ferriss — I've included one of his latest podcasts as well, and I have yet to watch their latest “The Random Show” episodes.
As for myself, I've been working on Music with AI (which is different from the music I make with a DAW), and I'll talk about it tomorrow, since Wednesdays we discuss the world of Music. I swear, as soon as Trump is no longer President, I'm using FL Studio (DAW) at least 1/3 of my days. I know a lot of people want to hear my upcoming album MAESTRO — it's years away, but who knows, the sooner the political noise settles down, the sooner the album gets released. A lot of us are excited about the midterms coming up; November 2026 needs to get here faster.
