Generated QR codes from Google

Its pretty old news that Google has it's own URL shortener.  called goo.gl    It is perhaps also old news that you can also use this shortener to create a 2-D QR code.   This came up in a conversation today about simple barcode generation. 

  The shortened code for the URL of this blog is:  goo.gl/H1P6G   and if you add '.qr' at then end of the shortened URL:  goo.gl/H1P6G.qr   you get the QR code shown at the right.   This code can be read by many barcode readers that can be uploaded to your favorite smartphone.  For example I just read it with the RedLaser IPhone App..
