Ring-A-Day: QR Ring

They’re popping up everywhere. What’s amazing about QR codes is that they can be generated in a variety of arrays and still hold the same information. This QR code is a text variety that simply says RING. I generated five that were similar, but not the same. All of them decoded properly to RING except the HIBC variety that decoded to +RING$. Make your own with the Free Online Barcode Generator.

If you want to decode this or any other barcode image you can use the ZXing Decoder Online.

Ring-A-Day: 8bit Heart Ring

I should make an 8bit tooth ring to go with this heart. Why? Healthy teeth, healthy heart. Weird right? Clean your teeth and your heart will follow… or something like that.

While a direct link between periodontal disease and heart disease has yet to be firmly established, doctors believe there is an important connection between oral and cardiovascular health.


What that means is that doctors aren’t sure how it works, but the relationship appears to be there. It might just be that people who exercise take better care of everything, but then again, maybe it’s something else.

Ring-A-Day: Berzerk Robot Ring

I put a lot of quarters into arcade machines at the beach. Berzerk was definitely a quarter gobbler for me. I loved and feared the speech synthesis. It was like Planet Rock had gone evil. What these old 8-bit graphics lacked in detail was made up for in our imaginations — like a good book. Hmm, War of the Worlds comes to mind. Those black and white letters can scare you right under the covers.
