But wait — there's more!
The more I learn about QR codes the more fascinating they seem to me.
A seemingly random array of tiny black and white squares can also serve as a pixelated display and at the same time be a gateway into internet space.
Wrote Kevin Kelly in Recomendo:
A lot of the dots in a QR code are superfluous, meaning that they can be arranged into a picture, and not just randomly.
Thus you can make the QR code into a picture.
QArt Coder is a website that will generate a QR code for a website you give it (say your homepage) using an image you give it (say your photo), yielding a QR code with a stylized image of you (or, say, a logo).
Short urls and small high contrast images work best.
Hold a phone's camera in front of it and it takes you to the website you linked it to.
Free, the way we like.
