So as we’re feeling particularly web 2.0 this morning why not get a QR code?

This we have done. But it’s not much use on a screen when you’re already looking at the site.

So why not print it out and put it on display somewhere? Take a pic of the best (most prominent) location you can display it around Canberra and win a very rare and much coveted RiotACT pin featuring the old cigarette butt logo.

Comp closes 31 October 2011, send your entries in to images@the-riotact.com .

Here’s what the pin looks like:

And here’s the code for printing:

But “wait!” I hear you cry!

What is that astonishing bicycle in the photograph?

johnboy's awesome bicycle

She’s mine, all mine, thanks to Callahan Bicycles.


First entry!

snarky

Snarky has sent this one in which is a good way to get you inspired but is sadly ineligible because it’s not actually real and the code won’t scan.

Keep them coming!

Gorgeous red bike!

If you had that bike at Lyneham High in the late 70’s (and I’m pretty sure I had one just like except with the dreaded “cotter pins”) the mudguard and chain guard would have to come straight off. Being seen with them would be an instant bashing behind the bike sheds.

Cool looking drop bars though, almost Ducatiesque.

(The white border around a QR is what defines it for software scan-ability)

I note that your lovely new bike is called a ‘Papillionaire’. Which would seem to have a little more to do with butterflies than eagles?

Just saying.

So what about the ‘nest’ part? Do you regurgitate into the mouth of the work experience guy and s*** over the balcony when you’re done picking up snakes with your talons?

Eagles in human form.

we don’t joke when we call it the eagle’s nest.

except, of course, for the chronic lack of eagles.

Here’s me thinking the Riotact is run out of your mums basement!! New office space?

Gorgeous red bike!

Thanks to Snarky for sending the first one in, Sadly ineligible.

!…That bike is red! Like a fire engine, or a race car! Nice.

Also that thing on the table in the first pic looks like a robot.

That’s the Mully Cup

If someone can manage to put this on the Queen’s car they have got that pin in the bag.
