Today is the 57th anniversary of the first patent on the bar code. Inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver were granted their patent on October 7, 1952. The original patent was for a system that would encode data in circles (a bulls eye pattern), so that it could be scanned in any direction.Celebrate by making your own bar code! (make it code 128, yo... 'cause code 39 is for a-holes)
