			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, October 7, is the <strong>birthday of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode" target="_blank">barcode</a></strong>. This day would have passed unnoticed except for <strong>Google</strong> replacing its logo with a barcode, presumably of the word Google. The barcode patent was issued on October 7, 1952, and since then, it has dressed virtually every item on sale for retail purchase.</p>
<p>This is where <a title="First Peek Ultrasound" href="http://www.oakparkultrasound.com" target="_self"><strong>First Peek Ultrasound</strong></a> comes in.  <em>We feel left out.</em>  We offer a <em>service</em>.  <strong>3D ultrasounds</strong>, to be exact.  Pregnant women can come into our studio and see their baby before the baby is born, find out if it&#8217;s a boy or a girl, and get their baby&#8217;s heartbeat recorded in a teddy bear.  We also offer prenatal massage.  These are all services.   So there is no way that we can use a bar code on anything that we offer, nor do we have a barcode scanner anyway.</p>
<p>Also, because we are a <strong>service</strong>, we do not charge <strong>sales tax</strong>. </p>
<p><strong><em>If anyone out there knows of any way we can use bar codes in our 3D ultrasound studio, please put in your comments below.</em></strong></p>
