Barcode experiments

My friend Skip wants to go beyond a Single Identification Number (SIN) and barcode everyone on the arm. This will put a dent in identity theft. I argue that it only opens up a market for skin tone self stick bogus barcode labels.

I had a project recently that got me thinking about barcodes. I learned how to manipulate images with PHP. I created my own barcode font and produced CODE 128 barcodes.

When the time comes you can get the graphics from my program and glue it to your arm.

Here is my example page.
