You Can Now Genetate QR Codes Using Wolfram|Alpha
Wolfram|Alpha has made the announcement earlier today they’ve added a QR code generator to their database service. Yet another service that makes W|A a resource that should always be considered to provide answers (not links) to a variety of questions and other info needs.
Each code can have up to to 7K of textual data embedded into it and it doesn’t have to include a URL.
The blog provides a few examples:

Just Plain Text.
Users can also combine the types of data embedded in the code.
To create a QR Code simply enter QR Code + up to 7K of data textual limit we just mentioned into the search box.
That’s it. The new service is free.
