I've added a QR Code to the Blog

I read on Hacker News about someone's project, lilqr, for adding QR code to a website. It seems to work pretty good. I easily added the QR code by using blogger's "HTML/Javascript" widget. You just add the following tag, <img src="http://lilqr.com/qr">. I have my blog configured to render itself as a mobile site when viewed on a mobile device. Its a pretty handy way to switch to a mobile device while reading the blog on a desktop/laptop computer. I know that there are other tools for doing this, but I figured I'd give someone's new solution a try.

QR codes can also come in handy for publishing offline announcements or advertising. Perhaps I'll take advantage of this and tell people about my blog using flyers around town.

On Twitter, @TroyJMorris and @knakao have been going back and forth lately about the topic of QR codes. I do not see an easy way to link to the back and forth tweets. Maybe thats a what uniquely named hash tags are for. Dont'w know if QR codes are so geeky that they'll likely take off into the main stream, but its a decent try especially with the way smart phones and other portable devices are becoming ubiquitous.

Both android and iPhone have good apps for scanning QR codes and taking an appropriate action. Got the iPhone, I have started using an app named, Scan.
