My CODE!!

That's right! Now you can scan, save, and send me along to all of your favorite people! During this wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving Holiday I was talking with a family friend and he was telling me about a long-term project he is working on with his college students. They are taking a piece of machinery apart and filming each individual part, how it works, how to replace it, etc... then when they put it back together again they will stick QR codes on each part so that he can then use this piece of machinery as a tool for teaching!

So the first question is... "What is a QR code?" A QR code is just like a bar code. It is a graphic representation of a lot of information that computers and scanners can figure out. If someone has a smartphone they can use apps (like ATTScanner) and scan the QR code. Then information is brought up on their Smartphone. You can print off these QR codes and post them anywhere! I can just imagine handing out business cards now with my name... and my QR code!! How exciting!! So without further delay: here I am! Scan me, save me, send me!! :)
