The last two days I have been glued to the computer, endeavoring to produce my first QR code for my "Save the Date" card. Success has finally been achieved. A QR code you ask? Yes, a new technology for me and probably most of you. QR stands for quick response. You are familiar with store's barcodes, right? Well, a QR code works the same. It is a black and white square with geometric shapes with encoded text, URL, or other data. It is read by a smart phone.
Imagine the ways one can give out information with these codes. You will be seeing mine on the next "Save the Date" card. It will take you to my web site. I will also be putting one on my new business card with all the contact information. So the information automatically can be added to one's contact list on their phone.
No, I do not own a smart phone. I have trouble with a simple tracfone let alone a smart phone. But they are becoming more popular and I have always liked being on the cutting edge. This summer you will be seeing me in a t-shirt with a QR code on the back. The reason for wearing it on the back? The codes don't scan well on curvatures. Get it?
