qr code bythebooth

I just made this QR code for my portfolio site. If you have a QR code enabled phone and you have a minute give this a shot and let me know if it works. A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional code. The act of linking from physical world objects is known as a hardlink or physical world hyperlinks and now termed an “Urban Bookmark” (as defined by TEQUILA\ London in 2006). Thanks Wikipedia!

If you don’t have a reader on your phone go to http://reader.kaywa.com/getit and down load it.
