Cool story about QR codes

Why does that QR Code take me to justinsomnia.org?

"My QR Code started showing up in all sorts of unexpected places. It seems that marketing people who needed a QR Code would search for one, find mine aesthetically pleasing (well, the #1 result above contains the BBC logo, so that won’t do) and slap it on whatever mockup needed it. And because it’s impossible to “proofread” a QR Code without a specialized QR Reader, a few instances of my QR Code ended up on finished products, thus becoming a sort of accidental 21st century ETAOIN SHRDLU."
