a few quick tools

Running like crazy as I am supervising a student-run environmental conference - but - as a hold over until time once more is mine.... I've been using a few tools of late for some ARG fun and other cool projects and just wanted to give them a quick shout out

1. http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx - a very handy tool for online qr code reading when a smartphone or similar device is not handy.

2. QR code tag extension for Chrome - now I can quickly make any site into a QR code and blast it to the basic social media outlets - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bcfddoencoiedfjgepnlhcpfikgaogdg

3. http://camerasummary.com/ - Camera Summary allows for quick decoding of image exif data -http://www.exif.org/

4. http://regex.info/exif.cgi - Jeffrey's Exif Viewer - and I also have that as a chrome extension

So - just a few QR code readers and Image metadata - hidden data readers - great for finding all sorts of hidden treasures!
