1/10/2007 Personal Message

Jeeze. It's really been a while. Two months instead of the normal one month intervals. I had a good holiday break, and got lots done. In the past two months, we recorded 15,000 page views and added about 1,000 pieces of content. See MediaWiki.

Tecker (http://tecker.net) the social question and answer service aimed at tech users is doing really well. We are expanding small, we have about 50 users now. We were featured on net@nite episode 8. net@nite is a weekly call-in show about new technology websites ("Web 2.0") hosted by TechTV's Leo Laporte. net@nite is part of the TWiT podcast network. The TWiT podcast was recently rated as #9 on TIME's top podcast list [1]. As always stay tuned at our development blog at http://blog.tecker.net/.

I am also creating a new derivative, Conflicter (http://conflicter.org). Conflicter is a place for frank discussions on global issues. This is being done in conjunction with my Cultures Project. The site has languished, but I will finish it eventually.

Tecker 911, the video technology help webcast is coming along nicly. The first 4 episodes are up at http://911.tecker.net and are starting to be aired on Channel 11 in Haverford Township. The show is coming along nicely, now I just need to find the time to edit three more episodes already filmed and edit the unboxing of my new cameraphone.

Speaking of busy, I am really swamped. End of the semester is comming up at the end of the year and that means all of the teachers are dumping work on us, finals to study for, and final projects to do. See my groups paper on Globalization. The World Cultures Portfolio also is a nightmare of work.

In addition, the build season for our FIRST robotics club, Team 484 started recently. That is three nights I week. Well, I guess I will make it.

PS. I don't know what happened to the photo section. I think it kinda died. Sorry. I think I will take it off the homepage now ;)

My friend (and Tecker partner), Michael Gdovin, has launched his business, w3life (http://w3life.com) and his personal website Gdovin.net (http://gdovin.net) two months ago. Not much has happened, but check it out.

"ThePlaz"
Yahoo APM: Membership and Geo Platforms

My name is Michael Plasmeier, but almost everyone calls me Plaz. I am a Associate Product Manager at Yahoo - working on the Membership and Geo-related platforms teams. I graduated from MIT in 2013 in Computer Science and Management. I am halfway between the tech and the business world, doing both web development and product development. My interest in doing both started while I was working on GridView, an app I built after 10th Grade that reached 1.3 million users on Facebook.

Internships

Last IAP, I was a Software Development Extern doing testing in Ruby on the back end at CardSpring. Last summer, I was Product Manager at Disney Parks and Resorts Online where I worked on a project for Disney Cruise Line. Last January, I worked in management/strategy consulting at Altman Vilandrie & Company. The previous summer, I was a web developer at NextJump, an online affiliate advertising firm in New York. Prior to that, I was an extern in the Office of the Chief Scientist at State Street. My freshman summer I worked at Deutsche Bahn, the German national railroad, where I designed the smartphone version Touch&Travel, an app that lets you pay for the train with your phone.

MIT

At MIT I was heavily involved in classes, usually taking 7 classes a term, while being involved in student government. (I wrote about how I do it in Working out a System.) senior was dedicated to wrapping up requirements. Junior year at MIT I focused on EECS classes, as well as being elected president of Baker House. My second year at MIT focused on management classes. I was also involved in the vendor selection and implementation of the new dining plan. Freshman year, I took core classes and served on the Athena and Printing Committee. (I wrote about just hanging on freshmen year in Learning to Learn.)

Websites

I built a lot of web projects in high school. My most popular project, was GridView [2], an app for Facebook which lets you add the profile pics of all of you're friends to your Facebook profile. GridView had over 1.3 million users and made me some money.

I hosted and produced the video podcast Tecker 911 [3] along with some of my friends. Tecker 911 was a series of 100 5-15 minute shows each which covers a technology topic in a way which is relevant for ordinary people, with a focus towards students and our community. Tecker 911 was also shown on our local public access channel Channel 11.

I started SeniorQuoter, [4] an open-source web application for senior quotes collections for high school yearbooks. In 11th Grade, I lead a Dynamic Website Building Instruction and Practical Experience Group Study at my high school. I helped 4 other students learn PHP and MySQL and then I project managed version 2 of SeniorQuoter, the administration interface.

Tecker and Conflicter were question and answer services I built in 10th Grade. They never really caught on, but they were the perfect way to learn PHP. Dictionary Robot is something I tarted last year, but abandoned later. In 10th Grade, I was a member of Team 484 and in 11th Grade I was their webmaster.

In 8th and 9th Grades I wrote bunch of programs for the TI-83+.

Tech

My first two years at MIT, I was a regular on The Weekly Spin, a weekly take on tech stories and tech policy.

On my Tech page I have had a few pages about Devices I own and other small things that I have built. For example, I also made some improvements for MediaWiki, the software that runs ThePlaz.com and Wikipedia. I made a new skin for MediaWiki and a few MediaWiki extensions


Other Accounts

I also tag a lot of stories on Delicious. I also have over 70,000 photos on Flickr. I Tweet kinda regularly. I also post things to YouTube. And of course I have a Facebook. It all comes together on my FriendFeed.

I have no idea what I'm doing and just started this year- i really get stuck on my homework EVERY night. Right now im working on HW 2 "As the ferris wheel turns" and i have no idea what I'm doing. But i just wanted to say thanks cause I'm gonna download that once I'm farther into the unit!--A Facebook user (J. S.)

  • You must register (for a free account) to edit pages.
  • My site contains mostly my homework and projects as well as various stuff from my life. I am continually adding stuff. If you don't see what you need, ask me a question, or add it yourself. Just hit "Edit" at the top of the page.
  • Check out the user pages! All site members get their own page too! So don't be afraid to change and add to your page. You can do anything you like! Your user page is at [[User:{{USERNAME}}]].
  • New server (should be far faster and fix speed issues!!!) and URL scheme (should be shorter and easier to remember) Old links should still work and redirect you to the new site! --ThePlaz 23:58, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Nuvola apps important.png Site News edit

New Minisites Index Page - I have transported from Geocities, my mini websites from 5th and 8th Grade

MediaWiki is now reporting times in the Eastern Time Zone. However, DST time is not taken into account, so currently the times are one hour delayed. --Plaz 14:13, 16 April 2006 (EDT)

I have categorized all of school reports. See Special:Categories for all categories, or see Category:School

List of work that I have posted the grade I have recieved. See: Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Grade% and Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Grade

I got a new scanner! This one is in my room, so it should be much easer to scan papers and post them here. That means more of my work posted on ThePlaz.com --Plaz 19:35, 14 May 2006 (EDT)

New Homepage I borrowed from [5] It took my three hours and a little CSS to transfer it. What do you think? Tell me! --Plaz 18:49, 17 May 2006 (EDT)

Site now running Media Wiki 1.6.5 --Plaz 18:49, 17 May 2006 (EDT)

I uploaded a lot of stuff I did for Western Civ. Only 3 more projects, and I will have all of the typed work uploaded. --Plaz 21:47, 18 May 2006 (EDT)

Western Civ Typed Projects uploaded --Plaz 21:37, 21 May 2006 (EDT)

I re-arrannged the Homepage by subject. It was just too hard to find stuff. --Plaz 21:37, 21 May 2006 (EDT)

I am testing a drop-down menu in the Sitenotice area. So if you see something weird at the top of the page, it isn't working yet. --Plaz 21:37, 21 May 2006 (EDT)

I changed around and built a template system using the round (in Firefox) to match the Main Page style and hopefully the new skin I might build over the summer. --Plaz 17:18, 5 June 2006 (EDT)

I added new file icons for .doc (Word) files. I had to change the PHP code to get them to display, and then I changed the custom themed file type icons to ones based off Nuvola icons They are like the ones I use on the main page. What do you think? --Plaz 17:18, 5 June 2006 (EDT)

I am done uploading all of my typed work from 9th Grade. School is almost over!--Plaz 11:15, 11 June 2006 (EDT)

Did you see that at the top of the page. Show/Hide is working!!!!!!!!!!!--Plaz 20:28, 14 June 2006 (EDT)

The drop down Nav bar is finally working! I only got some subjects to work yet. Others may come at some point, but are held up because of a bug. --Plaz 18:27, 25 June 2006 (EDT)

I changed the redirect page when you type in "ThePlaz.com" to be faster and more handheld and search engine friendly. I also added a CSS rule to make the sitenotice drop downs not appear on handheld and mobile devices. (Hopefully) --Plaz 16:42, 9 October 2006 (EDT)

New listing of old site updates, I've posted. --Plaz 17:58, 9 October 2006 (EDT)

There may be delays lasting up to two weeks between the day the work is assigned, and the day it is posted because of a backlog. This blacklog is likely to continue because it makes uploading more efficient.--Plaz 17:27, 30 November 2006 (EST)
