It turns out that yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the initial patent of the barcode.
Since when, barcodes have become ubiquitous.
So much so that if you become an in-patient in a public hospital hereabouts, all your documents, X-rays, CAT scans, blood samples and other stuff are barcoded as is the white, plastic bracelet around your wrist.
Ha! Make your own barcode: barcoding

I wondered why Google had a barcode up for their logo on the search page.
Google logos?
