I actually found a fun and sensible use of QR codes last month. I was at City Museum [1], which is sort of like a giant not-very-safe jungle gym for adults, and I noticed that they had some QR codes laminated and stuck in hard-to-find places. I scanned one, and it gave me some bonus information about the area I'd found it in (photos of them lifting the world's largest pencil into the building, I think). That's actually helpful. Navigating to a sub-page on their website directly, relevant to the physical space I found the code in. By contrast, the average use of QR codes in print appears to be to make me not have to remember a short top-level URL like "nytimes.com" which I could have typed in easily anyway. 1: http://www.citymuseum.org/ http://www.citymuseum.org/
