# the broken off section is currently sitting in the back of my car
I crawled underneath it whilst parking on a hill, praying the handbrake would hold, while I removed it from its bracket (this is after giving up trying to tie it back up - deciding that it would be easier to take off the broken bit)

# Ah noes!
The amount of time I've spent underneath my old cars patching up knackered exhaust systems.

Personal low-point - bodging it together on the hard shoulder of the M6 with 150 plus miles to go, using a wire coathanger on a bracket to support the broken off section so it didn't drag along the road, and then getting progressively deafer and deafer all the way home.

# No. For 2 reasons
1: I am not a tinfoil hatted swivel-eyed loon.
2: I have just used them in a job for a client and they were ACE!


Oh and obligatory "they're heeerrrrrreeeeeeeee"

# I'm having loads of fun with both QR codes and Augmented reality at the moment.
My office / house is littered with little squares of paper with strange barcodes on them :D

# I rather liked the GQ (was it GQ?) issue last year
with Robert Downey and a whole bunch of AR content (editorial & advertising). Worked rather well.

Oh I've just realised is this one of those things where you point your mobile at it and it's 3D I though you had made it. This is da foocha

# TJ: Corporate bollocks
Stood behind some trendy lovey in Neros on Parkway just now getting a croissant, and so at the mercy of his conversation with his colleague which consisted of a five minute slagging off of MTV, apparently his former employer; only for him to ask for a receipt for two coffees. What an absolute wanker

# After admitting that he once worked for MTV
the 'wanker' part is a given, really. What's the betting he aspires to be a Social Media Guru... and that he's got a fixie bike, too.

# I'm not worried about them
I think they're just another shit marketing idea.

They've even started putting them on posters around the office, FFS

# its the usual thing
of it being used as a lazy tool.

"We need one of those barcode things"
"Why?"
"Because everyone else is using them"

That kind of thing
