but how’s it going to look as a tattoo?

barcodeout with the old, in with the new.  bokode will soon be replacing barcode if the scientists at m.i.t. have anything to do with it.  the new bokode system is a teensy-weensie l.e.d. that  that “encodes visual information at various brightness and angles…the out-of-focus image, which can be stamped onto just about anything, holds thousands of times more information than conventional bar codes.”  bokode will be read by all kinds of devices like scanners and and cameras and can be read from many feet away.  just in case you were wondering, bokode comes from the “japanese photography term bokeh which refers to the round blob produced in an out-of-focus image of a light source.”
