The 21st Century Collides with a 1200 Year Old Artform

If you think that an IP address is a map of places listing bathrooms then just skip this blog entry.
If you have a smartphone then you might be interested in our latest innovation- the application of QR Codes.
QR codes (quick response codes) are square shaped bar codes that are easily decoded using your phone. 
That's right folks. No longer will we be using our phones for such menial tasks as actually talking to our loved ones. Now we will be surfing the Net while shopping at Fantasy In Glass, and learning more about the products available here.
Starting today, as you wander around our store, you will find QR codes adjacent to product that you can then scan and within 30 seconds, find out more information on that product. 
If you need QR reading software, there are numerous readers easily available through the various smartphone App stores (Mikey's favourite for his iPhone is Scanlife).
Test it out here-
