Welcome to Sticky Buzz Software! We’re still working out the kinks, finding the flowers, and building our honeycomb, so stick around and…ok, we’ll stop with the bee jokes.

My name is Orien, but my friends call be Big-O. I’m the co-founder and lead developer of Sticky Buzz, and I’m very excited about the things we’ve got planed for you! In addition to my love of software, I’m also a big fan of Apple products, and as soon as the iPhone developer program opened up I knew that I wanted to get involved. In fact, it makes me flash back to the early 90’s when the internet was just starting to emerge.

In 1993 I was 16, and I got to see the world wide web for the first time. It was new, exciting, and full of so much potential that I immediately knew that I wanted to learn how to make web pages of my own. I did just that, and without the help of Google (which didn’t exist) and without the help of any books (I couldn’t afford them) I figured out how the web worked and started writing my own web code. Today I’m a professional web developer, and I haven’t lost my passion for new technologies.

Perhaps that’s why I was so excited by the emergence of the iPhone app store. It’s a very similar situation. We have a new and exciting frontier, developers are still finding new and interesting ways to make use of the device, and I knew from day one that I wanted to get in on that.

Another significant thing happened to me when I was 16. It was then that I first became a Christian, and not too long after that that I joined the LDS church, and that has been the largest determining factor in who I am ever since. When I got my own iPod Touch and started browsing for applications, it wasn’t long before I was searching for Mormon and Christian apps to install, and although there are some very good ones out there, there’s not a lot of them, especially for LDS folks, and most of the ones I found were over priced.

So that became the driving force behind the creation of Sticky Buzz Software. Not all of our apps are going to be for Mormons, or even religious at all, but I promise that everything we make will be kid safe and family friendly.

We’re starting out with an app that I’m very excited about, and is one that I wanted to find when I first searched the app store, and that is Book of Mormon Trivia! We will have at least 200 trivia questions at launch, and we’re going to create a page on this web site for all of you to submit your own quiz questions so we can grow the question pool even further! The code is complete on the app and we’re just adding polish and content. Our goal is to have it in the app store for sale by the end of the month, at a price point of 99 cents.

Trust me when I say that we have a LOT more planned after that! We have many more app ideas than we have time to code, and though I can’t share any of them with you yet, I’m very excited about what we have in store and I think there will be a little something for everyone.

So stick around (stick, get it?) and check back on this blog for company news, app announcements, and maybe even some contests!

Thanks for stopping by.
