QR Code on Tombstone Creates Dynamic Memorial [PHOTO]
When Yoav Medan’s mother Judith passed away in June, the Israel-based medical technology executive couldn’t decide what he wanted to write on her tombstone. After deliberating with his family, Medan decided to turn to technology for the answer and attach a QR code to the grave in Haifa, Israel. Scanning the QR code leads visitors to a tribute website that Medan has setup and plans to evolve with stories and photos from his mother’s life. Over time, Medan hopes the QR code and memorial site will help create a lasting history of his mother that will live on for generations. The QR code itself is a laser engraving, filled with a black paste, and sits behind a piece of glass on the tombstone. He thinks the idea could catch on based on the feedback he’s been hearing. What do you think of this way of remembering your loved ones?

Ganz oft frage ich mich daher bei dem Erblicken von QR-Codes “nicht wirklich, oder? wer soll das denn nutzen? und wieso?” Zum 100. Großartig.

Flattr brings micropayments to conferences [Video interview]
Micropayment service Flattr is allowing people to ‘tip a dime’ to speakers or other attendees at Media Evolution’s The Conference in Sweden, in a move that makes the event ‘the first Flattr-able conference’. Flattr is a combination of a ‘like button’ with an online tipjar that allows you to pay a small amount to people whose work you like. You choose how much you’d like to pay at the end of each month and that amount is divided equally between everyone you’ve ‘Flattred’ that month. All speakers at The Conference, currently in progress in the city of Malmö, were invited to sign up to Flattr, allowing attendees to show their appreciation to each other or anyone who gave a talk they enjoyed. Flattr has already seen use in locations as diverse as on the Wikileaks website and by musicians on SoundCloud. In the video interview here, I speak to co-founders Peter Sunde and Linus Olsson about Flattr and how it’s creating a ‘like button that actually means something’.
