However, Jimmy is very excited to raise the money for DonorsChoose.org and greatly appreciates the work his BFF (for six months) has done on his behalf.
So, as announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, if the Fallon / Colbert Project can raise $26,000 by this Friday April 1st, Stephen Colbert has graciously agreed to sing Rebecca Black's "Friday" accompanied by the Roots.

101 Uses for QR Codes (for both professional and personal use)
Educational Uses:
Create a QR treasure/scavenger hunt in the classroom. Codes can be printed and posted in various locations. Students scan a code to get their next clue.
Get your students quickly and easily to a website by projecting the related code or printing it on a handout.
Project the related code so that the students can complete a survey or form, such as Survey Monkey or Google Form.
Attach QR codes to the back of books that would "take" your students to a website about the author, a page of book reviews, and/or additional resources.
A QR code at learning stations could take students to a web page with instructions, information, a video, etc.

Potential Web 3.0 Ideas:
Web technology becomes "smarter", meaning it doesn't just sift through data, but computers make meaning from data and even creates new information (see Semantic Web). This information won't based on the keywords you're searching, but rather be based on you, the user, and your search results will be integrated. The IBM project, Watson (playing the Jeopardy game) showed us that computers have the potential to create new information. In this case the computer wasn't just searching through metatagged data for information. It was pulling information together from multiple sources to answer the game questions.

We embark on the first generation of the "Metaverse", convergence of the virtual and physical world. Glimpses of this can be seen with new simulations, 3D television, augmented reality, and new geosocial applications (e.g., Foursquare).

QR codes connect online and offline worlds: From bus stops and billboards, to augmented reality magazines, QR codes are an advanced bar-code technology that blurs the line between digital and physical space. The idea is that scanning a bar code is much faster than typing a Web address on your tiny smartphone keyboard or touch screen – and way "cooler". These black and white boxes may not be the most visually arresting technology, but it’s what they can do, where they can be placed and how they’re being used that makes QR codes fascinating.
