Now add in PGP key sigs (or the entire public key), website, SSL key sigs, bitcoin address, and other information I haven't thought of yet, oh, and wrap all of that inside a VCARD, it becomes quite large quite quickly.

I'm not saying for the basic info a VCARD QR Code won't work, but for more info it breaks down.

Wikipedia has some more information on it, but for realistically printable QR codes (version 10), you can probably store about a hundred bytes.

Alternatively you could use Video QR: http://stephendnicholas.com/archives/310 ;)
