MATV MONTHLY UPDATES

MATV Updates

MATV – Mail Across The Void has become a partner store on the Market America shopping portal. The link is located under the” Shop Partners “ tab on Market America’s home page. Market America is a $400 million Internet marketing business with more than 180,000 Independent Distributors and over 3 million Preferred Customers who frequently shop for products and services on their Web Portals. Obviously, exposure to such a vast consumer base is expected to have a positive effect on MATV sales, revenue and profitability.

Agent News

MATV is considering offering its Agent Network an option to pick-up and deliver small packages in their local areas. MATV will act as a central hub for incoming requests from companies to pick-up and deliver small packages on short notice. Agents will have access to these requests online via MATV B2B email program and can decide to accept or pass on any request that becomes available.

Database Enhancements

Bonaco Systems (Software developers for MATV) is working on a file transfer protocol which is two-fold. End users will be able to select from two options of file uploads, one allows the upload of PDF documents into the MATV database for inclusion into same day & next day mail, the second provides for large files of data (computer programs, catalogs, cad files, music files, etc.) to be uploaded and captures by MATV servers which then writes this information to memory sticks or mini cd’s for inclusion into the MATV mail stream. Imagine receiving your next Sears or Wal-Mart catalog on a mini disk that slides into the CD rom of your computer for viewing.

Random Thougts

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I canthink about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tellmy own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involvesme.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when yourealize you're wrong.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink tohave fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint andsticks when they've invented the lighter?

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to your self to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

That's enough, Nickelback.I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will neverbe ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we allknow how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger andsuddenly realize I had no idea what the f**k was going on when I firstsaw it.I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actuallybecomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand thantake 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately cleary our computer history if you die.

The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

Was learning cursive really necessary? Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scan tron test is absolutely petrifying.

My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual step dads, I inquiredabout the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us."Classy, bro.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", allI hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney ands aid "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure Iknow how to get out of my neighborhood.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,and you can wear them forever.

I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

Bad decisions make good stories

Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted.

546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't bea problem....

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don'twant to have to restart my collection.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA . No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don’t win, they are executed.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

I think that if, years down the road when I’m trying to have a kid, I find out that I’m sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what to do with it.

My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud Lites than Kay.

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating bymyself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner

Mid August Updates

August has been a busy month for software development. The MATV message portal now has a working option for corporate clients to create and store standard messages in their online account. In addition, MATV will provide a library of generic templates that can be customized for each user. Templates will include statements, invoices, internal memos, bill of ladings just to name a few. Consumers will be able to choose congratulatory, sympathy, and special occasion message templates that can be modified and processed for transmission and delivery for next day and same day mail.

MATV has made significant progress in its business email system. MATV email eliminates spam, provides multiple levels of security options not available with any other email service. Read once options, encrypted messages, auto destruct text, DOD deletion., are a few of the features available on this closed loop system.
The application was specifically designed to enhance productivity for business and include higher levels of security for sensitive information. MATV agents and distributors will be the first to use the new program during its testing and debugging period.

MATV affiliate, High Energy Productions, is waiting for an official notification awarding a security contract for a Massachusetts Community College. Design and engineering of a state of the art digital security system by Edward P. Morando, VP of High Energy, will provide police with surveillance for two different campus facilities. Work is expected to commence in September, 2009.
