Sample Graphics for Inspiration<br />
Any one <strong>of</strong> these QR Code graphics can be reproduced<br />
in any size/quantity/combination or as<br />
a single image. AdamvsTheMan is an example<br />
<strong>of</strong> a single image and a single size being mass<br />
produced for a single effort/project (Rick and<br />
Carsen at LibertyStickers.com can help you<br />
with any effort. Simple to Complex.)<br />
Nick Explains:<br />
There are plenty <strong>of</strong> options out there if you want<br />
to track how many times your QR code has been<br />
scanned. You can use a public URL shortener<br />
like http://goo.gl that provides you with metrics<br />
or you can run your own. If you chose to use a<br />
public URL shortener, the system is taken care<br />
<strong>of</strong> for you, which could be good, or bad. If your<br />
Google account password is lost or stolen, you<br />
may not be able to recover it... or if your account<br />
is locked out for any reason, it might take<br />
a long time and many headaches before you can<br />
get back in.<br />
For many out there that have your own webservers,<br />
the clear and obvious choice is to run<br />
your own URL tracking system. The most robust<br />
and customizable option out there is also<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the easiest to install and run. Check out<br />
YOURLS to get you started. YOURLS has a plugin<br />
based architecture that allows you to easily<br />
add features that the base s<strong>of</strong>tware is missing.<br />
For instance, if you want to make URL shortening<br />
and tracking easy to use on your Word-<br />
Press blog, there is a WordPress plugin. More<br />
importantly, if you want to automatically create<br />
a QR code for each URL you create, just install<br />
the free QR code plugin. For a list <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
known YOURLS plugins, head on over here. If<br />
you are uncomfortable around editing PHP configuration<br />
files, YOURLS is not for you. But, if<br />
you can follow directions, can understand basic<br />
PHP and know how to add users to MySQL with<br />
either command line or cpanel, its worth a shot<br />
to install your own URL shortener and tracker.<br />
Peace,<br />

The Screen shot below is <strong>of</strong> a 30 up mailing label<br />
sheet for a project we helped James Babb<br />
and friends with, Infiltration into the Occupy<br />
Philly effort (another example <strong>of</strong> what we can<br />
do nationwide... The Right gave us the TeaPartyExpress<br />
to play with and now The Left has<br />
provided us a Silver Platter heaping with young<br />
minds to be freed with the Occupy Wall Street/<br />
America/Planet big sister effort to the TeaParty).<br />

These labels went onto an Anarchist DVD created<br />
by CopBlock.org (Ademo & Pete) and<br />
Nick from CopBlockPodcast here in Arizona.<br />
We burned hundreds <strong>of</strong> the DVDs, placed this<br />
sticker on them (QR Code goes to Occupied-<br />
Now.org that was created by the Voluntarists<br />
in Philly), put them in a paper sleeve with our<br />
LOVEolutionary Bandit QR coded card and immediately<br />
sent them to James Babb for them to<br />
add whatever they wish to the packet. The DVD<br />
was a good introduction to voluntarism for the<br />
occupiers, but we are working on a new DVD<br />
featuring a lot <strong>of</strong> the current coverage so that we<br />
can BE CERTAIN to express our opinion to the<br />
thousands in the streets needing this perspective.<br />
So imagine the scene... Every 'occupying' laptop<br />
with a DVD player 'camping out', will have<br />
a few people watching the DVDs and everyone<br />
with a SmartPhone will be scanning the QR<br />
Codes.....<br />
BOOM SHAKALAKA.... "Injection<br />
<strong>of</strong> the libertarian infection<br />
into the bone marrow <strong>of</strong> the Occupy<br />
America effort,... for which there is<br />
no cure!"<br />
Soros and friends want to back up their 18<br />
wheelers <strong>of</strong> lemons to our Lemonade Stands in<br />
the streets... COOL! :)<br />
This is one <strong>of</strong> the many activist projects that we<br />
are working on now. The reason our efforts are<br />
successful is that we don't even start unless we<br />
have wide support for the concept from individuals<br />
that see the benefit for their own reasons.<br />
We then make every effort to make it easy for<br />
others to make use <strong>of</strong> the tools we created. And<br />
then.... we just stay out <strong>of</strong> the way... No Central<br />
Planning!<br />
November's activism will feature the simple<br />
idea <strong>of</strong>, as many activists as possible posting<br />
items for sale on Craigslist etc. that provide a<br />
discount if payment is in Silver. We will feature<br />
the "Silver Calculator" downloadable App for<br />
Android/iPhone/Blackberry in each post that<br />
will take place on a single day across the nation<br />
to introduce the planet to a real solution.<br />
We have been working on this for years :) www.<br />
LibertyTrade.net (imagine.... eBay and Craiglist<br />
features combined with the additional feature<br />
<strong>of</strong> selecting what currency/commodity can<br />
be used in the transaction :)<br />
