Birthdays and barcodes

October 7, 2009
by RC

In celebration of the birthday of the barcode, today, Google featured its name in the form of a barcode. So, for fun, I generated my own name as a barcode.

And then, I generated the blog’s name as a barcode.

I know, I live an exciting life. But it is kind-of fun, if you would like to do one for yourself.

Sharing the birthday of the barcode, my MUCH older sister, Mrs. V, turned 40 today! Please swing by her blog and wish her a happy birthday!

In other news, there is still time to enter my first-ever blog contest, for a $50 shopping spree to AJWright. Take a moment to visit that post and enter, before time runs out.

And yes, in the near future, I hope to post a family update. Honest! (In the meantime, I’m off to a work conference for a few days. Hope you have a great rest of the week and a good weekend!)

    Very cool! I love the alliteration! (It’s the English teacher in me!) Happy Birthday to your sis, too!

    p.s. how do you get the “Notify me of follow up comments via email” box on your comment page??? I can not find that option for the love of God! It’s been driving me nuts!

      I believe it was just one of the options of this template…

    I am not a number!!!

    I will print it out and take it to the supermarket and see what you are worth!

      Well, what was I worth? Face it. We are all numbers.

    I had no idea why they did the barcode thing. Thanks for clarifying that up!

      I get a kick out of the different “Google Doodles,” so I always have to get the back-story.

    That is very cool. I immediately made a bar code for every member of my family (because I too lead an exciting life!!).

      Glad other moms can relate to my exciting life. ;-)
