I noticed on my friend's hospital wristband a 1/2" small
square barcode (that the nurses are always scanning) so
I snapped it with my phone's barcode reader and it gave
the following url, which I've split onto separate lines:
http://www.id2att.com/service?

  &uuid=07e4e85f-591b-4536-baa8-affdbb929981

  &lo =-122.09497033333334

  &signature=c3a7d8c45e5fb9f21ca571c1e1b859...
It seems that most of it is properties of my Android phone.
If you want to see where it takes you, my shortcut
    http://tinyurl.com/hospitalbarcode
takes you to a page that simply displays the first, cont=XXX, entry.  -Bill
