bury me in this dress

This blog, MukhangPera.com, and YesNoMeh.com are giving away this lovely handcrafted leather journal made by AmberLuke. I blogged about Amberluke last January 2009. It’s been a year! How nice ! ^_^

The contest is for bloggers in the Philippines. If you think it’s lovely too, why not join the contest? It’s easy. Just go to my other blog, Mukhang Pera, to find out how to join.

I was playing around at Poupeegirl this morning and in order to download a mobile wallpaper I made, I needed to point my phone to QR code. My phone doesn’t have a barcode reader so I googled and it led me to this site. I chose UpCode since it’s compatible with my SE P1i. After installing it and all, I still couldn’t download the damn wallpaper. Frustrated, I just screencapped it.

So I wasted a lot of time but I became interested in QR-codes. I know they’re popular in Japan and I want to make codes for my blogs. The one on the left is for this blog. I created them at Kaywa which offers code generation for free. Then I read Emily Chang’s entry about QR-code and found out about Blotcode.

Blotcodes are more aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, it currently can be read using an iPhone app. I hope the develops will come up with applications for other phones. Still, I made one for this blog.

There’s also dandelion which was created by the same guys who did blotcode.

Lastly, there’s shortcode.

For now I will use the QR-code for this blog but when blotcode develops readers for other mobiles, I’ll make the switch.

Two more years before the world ends! Happy New Year!

I got this from an email Shabby forwarded to me.

The Senility Prayer

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Mazel tov!
