Another Way To Share Randomness Blogs
If you enjoy reading my posts, first, thank you, second, if you want to spread the word about the blogs, there is now another way, via QR codes. If you don't know what a QR code is, that's OK. They are fairly new to the US, although they've been around for a while in Japan and parts of Europe. They are kind of boxy as you can see below that can embed just about anything, the only limitations are that it can only hold 256 characters and there are no phones, that I know of, that have an app preloaded that can read QR codes. If your running Android, a good app is Barcode Scanner by ZXing Team. If your running iOS, a good app is QR Reader for iPhone by TapMedia LTD. I don't have devices that run any other OS but I will be doing research to find good QR code apps for OSes like BlackBerry OS, and WindowsPhone.
