The “QR” acronym stands for “Quick Response.” Widely used in Japan, QR codes store bits of information like serial numbers or in this case, a URL web address. To read the code, it requires that you snap a photo using a smart phone like an iPhone, Android, etc. In my case, I downloaded the QR App to my iPhone – it allowed me to shoot a photo of the QR code that Google provided and then immediately processed the code.

We are proud to announce the recent launch of Weavings.org. The Weavings journal offers a space where questions posed by contemporary life and the spiritual resources of the Christian heritage can encounter and illuminate one another. The journal strives to create a forum in which contributors and readers can converse on important matters of common concern. Big Heart Design worked with editors of the beloved journal to help develop a new web and social media strategy that stays true to the journal’s roots, while embracing the ever-changing world of new media. We are very proud of the results and hope you enjoy.

The University of Wisconsin, Green Bay has switched the default font on its e-mail system from Arial to Century Gothic. The university says the change sounds minor, but it will save money on printer ink when students print out e-mails in the new font.

Last night I found myself picking through the NPR archives online and ran across a recent feature they produced, it detailed the release of a musical tribute album featuring the music of Shel Silverstein. One of Silverstein’s closest friends, Bobby Bare Sr. and his son, Bobby Bare Jr. produced the compilation of songs written by Silverstein; it features such artists as Frank Black (Pixies), Lucinda Williams, My Morning Jacket and Todd Snider. I was surprised to learn that the poet I had grown up reading had written such classic songs as A Boy Named Sue, The Cover of the Rolling Stone, and The Ballad of Lucy Jordan.
