QR codes decoded....

....aka, what's the black and white thing on your page Miss Allbright?!

QR (which stands for "quick response") codes are very similar to barcodes on things you buy at the store except those codes are just read left to right and a QR code is 2D, it can be read up, down, left and right. The code is made up of black pixels arranged on a white background and can contain information like URLs, text, phone numbers, etc.

What do you need to read these codes? Check your pocket! All you need is a cell phone with a camera! Download a barcode scanner app, run the app, focus your phone camera on the code and it will scan and ask you if you want to go to the website or view the information.

Want to create your own codes? It's super easy! Visit http://qrcode.kaywa.com/  or SCAN!
