The QR Code

The pattern called the QR code is now ubiquitous. One can easily(?) generate one that points to a specific web page or site. For example, I’ve generated one for this particular page, so it’s a bit recursive.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, because QR codes fit so well into my grand and loose theme, with their square alignment blocks and their black and white pixelated pattern. Nice!

Chrome actually has a built-in feature to generate a QR code from a specific page, just right-click and presto! But it has a different appearance from the usual ones that inspired me to create this page.

I hear you need to find a “reputable” online QR code generator. How do you know it’s reputable? I tried a few, and they want you to create an account, or pay them something, or only work temporarily.

I guess there’s a lot about QR codes I don’t know. For instance, you can have dynamic codes that can have changeable meanings, but they must be routed through a service somewhere.

This web site seems to have given me a straightforward QR code to this page, which is what I wanted.
