It had to happen sooner or later. Yes, we're selling t-shirts. Geeky-cool QR code ones too. I just received a box of t-shirts in the mail with my wife's small fitted T.Luckily for you I'm not a small so here's me modelling the t-shirt. Some of you will instantly get it and will be reaching for your phones. If you don't get it, not to worry.
What I'm wearing is a QR code.
It's like a glorified bar-code and all the information that the creator wants is contained INSIDE that image. At first I thought scanners read the code and then had to match it up with some kind of online database to give you the information. I was wrong.
So the message that the users get when they scan the image is :

It's something all the cool kids are into.
You won't be able to read my t-shirt because the QR isn't completely showing. If you want to test out the whole thing here it is:
