Join the club mate. looks like a SETI pictograph gone wrong .
All right, I'll bite. What's happening here? Something written, and we are to focus on the negative spaces? I can't make it out. Help me out here! I'm interested.

It's called QR code. You need a reader. You can get one for your smart phone.
{snif} I don't own a smart phone. I'm a luddite. All I have is a little prepaid cell phone that makes telephone calls and which I use 3-6 times a year. And I don't have a MP3 player (but I do have a wonderful old Victor Talking Machine that plays old 78 records - and a Caruso record to play on it) or any of these nifty high tech things.....
QR code so what is it ?

It's a machine readable code that can be used to display text or hyperlinks.
Well that makes so much more sense ? Why didn't you just say that? What are Hyperlinks? LOL Suggestion for next post The Internet for Dummy's ? Gordi La forge would have a hard time keeping up !

OK - true story. My wife sent me one and I thought it was a maze (I love mazes). I tried to solve it for 10 minutes before I asked for help. I had no idea what it was. I saw an example of its use in a catalog. I item was shown with one of these at the bottom of the page. If you use your smart phone, it takes you to a web page where you can buy the product.

Will a puzzler be a weekly feature? Had me going. I stared at it for a good 20 seconds and no revelation! It did remind me of tracking marks on FedEx and UPS packages, but it was Google Fast Flip that had an illuminating article. Heh. Does this mean you are going commercial on us?

Commercial? Not me. I was thinking about using one on the back of my photography business cards. It would be an easy way to direct people to my photos.
