Piggy bank

Addison came to me with her little piggy bank and says "Piggy is hungry. He hasn't eaten all day. He skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner and he's really really hungry! We need to feed him quarters right away!". I remain suspicious of this story and $1 poorer. He somehow managed to weasel me out of .25 for dessert as well. Pig.

My QR code...huh? What's that?

qrcode

That's it. That's my QR code. Everyone should have one, right? It's the newest greatest thing and everyone knows I must have that. One day all business cards will be is a collection of blocks and dots. You'll have a reader that will automatically install it into your contacts or whatever. My QR code brings you right to my blog. I don't really understand the purpose of it other than being like a little treasure hunt, but that takes a lot of time - especially if you don't have a good signal on your phone. Then what's the point? I think mine looks kind of cool though, don't you? It's digitally artsy. :D

I read that Japan has them everywhere. It's a new marketing strategy that is supposed to be a link between print ads and online marketing. Interesting concept, just not sure how this will catch on. In case you were wondering, QR stands for Quick Response. You also need a Smart Phone with a reader to use them. I have a very smart phone, so of course I had to try it out. Currently, I've seen them a lot in magazines, and on sides of restaurants or businesses. It's been speculated that we'll be seeing more of those little QR codes popping up...so for all my readers (1000's, I'm sure) now you'll be in the know.

You're welcome. :)
