Skate by Numbers: More on the Custom POS System
Published 12/5/2013 by Rob Meronek
Last week I finished up all the back end business process stuff in our POS and Inventory Management system. I got a decent amount of work done this week and got the Point of Sale portion of it nearly completed. This is where you ring up sales and process a customer coming in to skate and/or buy something. I wonder if anyone will catch the few inside jokes I sprinkled in here? Anyway, here's another nerdy ass edition of Skate by Numbers where I take you through the rough draft of the POS portion of our system. I'm really trying to build this one to focus on making multiple stores and inventory locations as easy to manage as possible. Maybe we'll have multiple stores and inventory locations one day? We'll see.

Let me warn you, this article and this new feature I'm starting called Skate by Numbers is nerdy, grow'd up, and bid'niss as hell.

Don't gift cards just suck? You can lose them, they expire, you forget you had them, you have to enter a 500 digit number to use it online, buying one as a gift is a pain, etc.

Our First Apparel Brand: Welcome RIPNDIP
2/3/2014
RIPNDIP is a clothing company started right in our backyard, next city over, Orlando, Florida. I remember years ago how their crew would show up super-deep at local Florida contests we were running. Next thing you know, the quality of their gear became top of the line and you started seeing them everywhere from The Berrics, to all over the streets of California. Congrats to our homies from the neighboring city for building an apparel brand proper.
Another Milestone at The Boardr: TF Construction Begins
4/30/2014
Now that we've got some time to stop and breathe from having one big event behind us (NYC) and another one just about complete (Vegas), we can finally start dedicating some attention to the homefront. Yep, it's another baby milestone for us here at The Boardr. Today starts construction on our TF! We're going slow and calculated as usual with this project, too. I don't know my physical construction tools very well, but I do know there are some things in this photo that indicate concrete. Damnnnn, it's on. Feels like we're finally getting furniture in an empty home. Right now all I have for you is this one single photo.
No Surprise: Skateboarding Climbing the Hip Hop Charts
5/7/2014
I have 25+ years of rap lyrics memorized that you can get spilling from my lungs with just a small percentage of alcohol in my blood. It's been an interesting unfolding over those two plus decades watching that other thing I'm into mesh cultures with hip hop. Today I was cleaning up some of my digital memory banks and ran some key words through Rap Genius' Rap Stats tool. They catalog all these words in hip hop lyrics and created a tool that plots the useage of words in lyrics over the years. Are you surprised by the growth of skateboarding? I wonder if the sketchy skateboarding industry has seen the same growth in their numbers. In regular popsicle stick boards, my guess is no.
