The planets finally aligned and we got the chance to work with the granddaddy of snowboarding. We teamed up with our good friends at MSI to make a sick Burton app for Nokia to stoke out a worldwide audience. We first wrote and launched it for the Nokia on the WRT platform. Then we did an iPhone version, which is currently being routed through Burton and should be in the app sore soon. We’re also hooking it up for Android. The LiftLine.tv app basically turns your smart phone into a virtual TV where you can watch multiple Burton channels chuck full of sweet streaming content. The backend CMS allows Burton to upload limitless amounts of videos and even channels on the fly, which are automatically synced with the Level 3 network and streamed seamlessly through the app. The iPhone version lets you pick and choose your favorite content and even create your own network. This was a beast to get done but we’re beyond stoked how it turned out. Working with Burton is a rare privilege not many peeps get. We can’t wait for the next time.
Peep our newest webisode for PowMow if you’ve got a sec. We’ve got 6 more currently in edit-landia that will be dropping over the next few weeks featuring things like Al Roker, ginger Alpacas, military parades, stuffed lion heads and fire breathing eaglealopes. It’s going to be a good time.
Our last STS boards flew off the shelf like Snuggies at Walmart on Black Friday. Here’s a sneak peak at our newest jam that’s being built by extreme robots somewhere in a whale’s vagina, a.k.a. San Dieago. If you dig cyborg gastropods we think you’re going to like this more than a friend. And if you’re super duper nice to us the STS swag fairy might do you up proper.
So we got a little nuts with our Christmas card this year. We’re into the Holidays so we decided to do it up real big like Oprah’s undies. The cards we sent out had scratch off codes where people could go to our Christmas site (stsworkshop.com) and pick a gift from under the STS tree. Then we sent out a potpourri of presents that ranged form the awesome to the borderline offensive. To mange all of this we built a CMS on the back end so we could track who checked in, what present they selected and who got shipped what when. For those who didn’t get cards/gifts we created a Zombie Elf Attack game where the top high scorers could earn presents. We illustrated and developed the entire game in house. Our nerds got skills yo. On the Christmas site there was also a gift gallery so you could see the ridiculous gifts everyone else got. We also had a give a gift section where you could send friends fake certificates for land deeds, star naming and donations to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good, in their name. We also added in a Pewee Herman cameo, singing shark and shit-talking squirrel for good measure. All in all it was a long ways to go for a roast beef sandwich but serious good times. Wait till you see what we do next year.
Beer labels are to designers what catnip is to felines. Check out the label we just cranked out for Hoppers new Sno Ale. Had a blast doing this one and look forward to many more. Swing by Hoppers and give it a taste. We promise you’ll like it if you’re into Christmas and awesomely delicious things.
Say hello to the newest addition of our board collection. Just got 4 boxes of these bad boys to give out to the BFFs of STS. We went retro because we miss the good old days of skatin to the mall, hanging out in front of Hot Dog on a Stick and talking about the new Whitesnake video. (more…)
