Everything geek

Gemeinsam für ein sicheres Deutschland. Die Kampagne „Du bist Deutschland“ war 2005 der Beginn einer positiven Stimmungswelle im ganzen Land. Diese gebündelte Energie hat sich 2009 umgekehrt, denn nun bist du potenzieller Terrorist und wirst überwacht.

Following some tutorials (grynx, hoagieshouse) I modified my webcam (Philips PCVC740K) to use near infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
The two basic steps are to remove the original IR blocking filter from the backside of the lens assembly and replace it with a few layers of unexposed but developed color negatives as IR pass filter.
The PCVC740K uses the ICX098AK CCD chip with the sensitivity documented in the datasheet.
The first two pictures show various things in visible light and in near IR, the two last pictures show my wrist and arm, exposing bloodvessels.

Hi everyone,

just recently I came across a site of brillian nerdy geek humor by Ernest Cline (to cite him, this is “Airwolf”).
I especiallly loved “The Geek Wants Out“, either read it, or even better listen to it in mp3.

Cheers to you all,
Tim.
