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..
