What the man behind the curtain is up to.

Hook up your real world experiences with the cyber-world!

Obsessed with matrices lately? I know I am. This is out of left field but, well I think it’s dripping with geeky pleasure to be able to fit ’12 stanzas of the famous poem of Lewis Carroll “The Walrus and the Carpenter“‘ (wikipedia) inside one of these bad boys! It’s like a secret Japanese cult language! It’s no secret anymore. Thousands of people are using it already, maybe millions…

One of the tools which aim to converge “realspace” and “mobilespace” are
bar codes (think of them as a form of physical hyperlink.) It works
like this. Let’s say you’re walking along a sidewalk and someone hands
you a flyer. Glancing down you notice a bar code placed neatly within
the design. Immediately you take a photograph of the bar code with your
mobile phone. Software on your phone converts the snapshot of the code
into a mobile address. You are automatically offered the option to
launch this address in the phone browser. Doing so launches your mobile
browser and you are taken directly to the linked content — jumping you
from printed content to online content.
