L0ratad1ne Cheap Internet Pharma!

Internet adding real consumer value:

Today/this evening I have been getting a cold or allergies or something. Right about 11pm tonight I decided that I should take some m3ds to clear me up so I would sleep better. I found an unboxed packet of something called Loratadine which I had never heard of - without the Internet, I might hesitate before popping unknown pills, but Wikipedia told me it was the generic name for Claritin - Boom, problem solved.

Ok Fine Sometimes I Tweet

Chamillionaire And Social Media

For some reason I find myself posting rap-related content here on Mattishness more frequently than I would expect. In parallel, my professional interests run strongly towards social media and marketing - so when the twain meets - I can't not post. Here is a Mashable interview with Chamillionaire re: the most downloaded ringtone of all time:

PDT - Please Don't Tell

I went to PDT on Saturday evening - which is a total milestone for me - for years I have wanted to go to a bar with no sign - where you go into a run-of-the-mill basement level hot dog place, walk into the phone booth inside at the back, close the door, pick up the phone, say your name, and then have a hidden door in the back of the phone booth open up and be ushered inside the hidden speakeasy. . .

. . . And now I have!

Used To Not Much

I took the redeye from Seattle to New York last night. I don’t sleep very well on planes and there was a time when this same weekend whirlwind trip came as a shock to the system; I’d show up exhausted at 8am in the city and crash until about 11am before getting up and organized. These days, I am so supremely accustomed to poor sleeping and just generally being ragged that I hardly bat an eye. And no, I’m not sleeping any better on the plane - I just caffeinate and rally. There’s likely an end-of-rope to be reached in this progression, but I haven’t gotten there yet!

Later today I believe I’m going to a Kentucky Derby party, and tonight I’ve invited a bunch of different friends who I know from different stages & places in my life to a birthday party for a friend of a friend whom I don’t know myself - it’s looking like a great success.

If you know me and are around the Lower East Side this weekend - you’ll probably just run into me on the street by complete chance - because that’s the way it always ends up working out.

This stream of consciousness post is courtesy of being offline and misinformed about the availability of unsecured 802.11 networks in and around the vicinity of the Whole Foods on Bowery & Houston, oh wait, there’s one!

I-Booze, Seattle Startups List

I don't subscribe to the Seattle Startups list because I know I'll hear about anyhting particularly interesting that goes around on it from someone else. Case in point: I-Booze.com - clicking through on this site is almost like being rickrolled.

Here's a fine sample of pre-launch copywriting from i-booze:
