{195} code 39

i'm really into this whole "code" thing with my name right now. i've done several different types in the past 195 names but i thought this was another really interesting one.

One of the most widely used symbologies, Code 39 can encode messages using capitalized alpha characters, numbers 0 through 9 and seven special characters. It has a flexible, variable-length format. Code 39 is used by the Department of Defense and by the automotive industry, among others. Its main drawback is that it takes up a lot of label space, sometimes causing problems when there is a lot of data to be encoded.

{194} semaphore

back to using google for inspiration! i've been in desperate need of help to get me over the 200-mark hurdle. i can't believe i'm this far!!

Semaphore is similar to Morse code in that each letter of a message is translated into another form to allow it to be more easily communicated. While Morse code is used to send messages electronically over a telegraph line, semaphore is used to visually communicate information over long distances.
To use semaphore, an operator holds a flag or lighted wand in each hand. The operator extends their arms to the correct position and pauses for each letter of the message.
