Angesichts der Katastrophe Hoch Drei in Japan, ist Spenden etwas, was mir ganz persönlich in diesem Fall hilft, der Situation etwas entgegenzusetzen.

Nun wollte ich dies so rasch und einfach als möglich tun, nämlich so wie das beim Red Cross America möglich ist: per SMS.

Give $10 to help. Text REDCROSS to 90999, or go to http://t.co/u0C4fxY Pls RT #givetojapan

Hier in der Schweiz habe ich aber beim Roten Kreuz gar keine Möglichkeit gefunden mit SMS zu spenden.

Und leider ists bei der Glückskette auch nicht besser:

Anleitung: Spendemöglichkeit für registrierte Postkonto-Inhaber (Kosten 20 Rp) SMS mit Vermerk der Sammlung gefolgt vom Betrag an die Kurznummer 363. Beispiel: Japan 50 an 363

Ich bin Postkonto-Inhaber, aber folgendes hat mich die Spende dann (bisher) bleiben lassen (Screens vom iPhone):





Wer kennt eine Lösung, die rasch funktioniert?
Und wieviel geht bei Spenden via SMS an die Telekoms (Swisscom, Sunrise, Orange) und wieviel zur Hilfsorganisation?

Just discovered this photo from @pvantees. It educates the public about QR Codes. Two small things to improve - more quiet zone around the code and a real tracking code to know where people have scanned the QR Codes of this marketing campaign.

If now they would add DokoDare QR Codes to the mix and in the Miura-Ori Style, then it would be perfect.

Ju Ware from the Northern Song Dynasty

The unique style of Ju porcelain glaze color is a slightly greenish blue hue with the slightest sparkle of rose pink luster, appearing quite different from the Yao-chou, Southern Sung Kuan (Official), and Lung-ch’üan celadons of the Sung dynasty. Starting in the period of the Ming and Ch'ing dynasty, Ju porcelains received particular attention among connoisseurs. Regardless of the terms they used to describe Ju wares, such as "sky-blue color", "blue sky after rain", or "light blue hue", they all were insufficient to capture the consummate skill and perfection of the color and luster of actual pieces. In addition, the grading of Ju porcelains, whether the surfaces of the glaze had crackle or were completely without any form of pattern, were considered in the view of connoisseurs to be in a class of their own and regarded as the paragon of celadons.

Eine feine Käseschnitte mit Salat, Turbinenbräu oder Walliser Wein - Neo-Währschaft eben. QR-Code scannen, bookmarken und hingehen. Macht Freude.



#loetschberg auf DokoDare

Blogpost from 23.3.2004: CeBIT: Desperately seeking room. Wenns jemandem heute so geht, empfehle ich das Einscannen des QR Codes unten mit dem Kaywa Reader.

My sister and her family will be at La Suizandina for some time.

And on 14 Febrary, just in the middle of a stressful time, arrived Nadia and George with their two children Tokio and Dimitri (see first picture four persons on the right). They will take over the function of the managers at the Suizandina. At the moment, though, they are learning how everything works here at the Suizandina in order to make sure that you will be well served also in the future. They look forward to welcoming you soon!

Naturally I wanted also to know where they are on the Google Map, so that I can open up the place on DokoDare. I guess that's it below, especially if I compare it to this picture.

And here is the QR Code for La Suizandina, if you happen to want to chill out in Chile:
