A large wall in Lincoln with just this binary code graffiti/Wall Art. I don't know if it has any meaning beyond looking interesting but I'd like to think it does.
As a kid, I used to print program source code and would make edits while on family road trips during summer vacation. When I got back home, I'd type in the edits.
In taking a road trip I hadn't done in perhaps 15 years, it felt appropriate to revisit some old habits - this time, with about 45 pages of JavaScript.
Despite software's "virtual" nature, I think it's good to occasionally print and work on a physical copy of your ideas. Even if you don't work all of your notes back into the code, you still benefit from the mental exercise of thinking through and editing your work.
This is a poster on the London Underground, warning about pickpockets. It says: "Give them an inch and they'll take all they can. Keep your valuables out of reach of pickpockets."
"Be aware of the 'Tricks of Pickpockets'. Watch a video of the tell-tale signs at btp.police.uk/pickpockets ", and there's a QR code to scan for the URL. Which would require taking our your smartphone in public, scanning the code, then watching the video on your phone and not paying proper attention to your surroundings. You might even fail to notice, say, a pickpocket.
Mystic used to send back film in short strips with a paper edge and a very thin plastic covering on the film. This is ISO 200 film of some sort - back then the edges had bar coding, I suppose for better automation with development and printing.
Connecting students with the skills they need to succeed in our changing world is the key goal of British Columbia's new curriculum - and $6 million will go toward training for teachers to teach coding and the new curriculum, as well as for computers for classrooms.

Now, it's up to your imagination !
If you have any plans to visit Rosslyn Chapel and take a few photos, I'm afraid you'll have to forget about the latter part. As of last Sunday, interior photography/video is now banned on health and safety grounds, would you believe? Only a cynic would suggest that it is really about boosting sales of souvenir postcards in the Chapel shop. ;-)
Anyway, I had planned a trip out this week to take some photos, having only visited the Chapel once before, about six or seven years ago. However, the deadline concentrated my mind and I visited on Sunday afternoon. The effect of 'The Da Vinci Code' on visitor numbers was immediately obvious. Last time I visited, there were about six other people there, while this time it was filled with visitors.
This magnificent stained glass window is located in the Sacristy.
I haven't read the book or seen the film (and have no great desire to change either - based on what I know of them). However, the Chapel is well worth a visit and I'm sure Erich von Daniken is kicking himself for not having used Rosslyn Chapel as evidence of visitors from another planet (then again, I've never read any of his books...so maybe he did?). :-)
