High-tech meets local & sustainable food

If you don't know what that odd symbol at left is, you probably don't have a phone or tablet or index finger implant that will scan it. But for those of you who do scan these codes wherever they appear nowadays, this one takes you straight to the Enright Ridge CSA website, where you can find out more about our community-supported urban agriculture project, get an application for membership this year, and see why the Enright Urban Farm Project is a pretty cool idea, right here in Price Hill.

The symbol is a QR code (I now know that QR stands for "Quick Response"), a two-dimensional matrix code that is readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. It doesn't do a lot of good here on our blog, but we'll use it in other places in coming months, such as flyers and displays that will help us get the word out about what we are doing at the Enright Ridge CSA as we encourage new people to sign up for the 2012 season.

For now, it's just a cool graphic to go with this blog entry, but I suppose if you wanted to try it, you could scan it from the screen and go to our website. Where there is a new direct link to the blog at the top left of every page--so you could get sucked into a never-ending circle, going back and forth from website to blog to website to . . . well, that's enough technology for today.
