Surfing Google today would have brought you to an interesting launch page, where the Google logo was replaced by a bar code. I printed off the bar code and scanned it, hoping there would be some sort of unique message, but not surprisingly, it just said ‘Google’.
Want to make your own bar codes? With the right font you can generate bar codes with numbers or ASCII characters right from a word processor application. Despite the attempt by many sites to charge for this font which appears everywhere in our daily lives, the fine folks at BarcodesInc.com are giving away the basic edition for free:

Wondering what the bar code in this post says? You’ll just have to scan it to find out.
