==Yahoo APM==
My summer working at [[Deutsche Bahn]], the state railway of Germany, is over.  I worked on the PPX/[http://touchandtravel.de Touch&Travel] team.  I worked on the design for the new smartphone version of T&T and I prototyped out a map/GIS platformHopefully they will like what I built and what I helped develop will be seen by millions of people.  Working at Deutsche Bahn was real a change of pace from MIT; I did not even have access to my DB email outside the office.  It was challenging to work in German and I learned a lot about what it is like to work in a big companyHopefully I brought some American-style thinking to the team to help create the next version of Touch&Travel and improve people’s trip planning.

I am about 1 month into my new job at [[Yahoo]] as an Associate Product Manager or [[APM]]After I finished classes at MIT, but before I was set to start at Oracle, Yahoo offered me to join Marissa Mayer's new APM program at YahooMarissa started the program back when she had just joined Google - as a way to find and develop new Product Managers out of school, which she thought would be faster than hiring experienced PMs from the industry.  This article describes the role http://www.wired.com/business/2012/07/marissas-secret-weapon-for-recruiting-new-yahoo-talent/ though that article overblows things slightly.
 
   
 
   
During the summer, I had a great time going on trips to [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624337767853/ Berlin], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624536810381/ Venice], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624661594536/ Verona], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624462473322/ Nuremberg], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624634370747/ London], and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624763951287/ Hamburg].  I also went to smaller day trips to [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624337555079/ Mainz], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624267199490/ Geysir Andernach], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624660398400/ Wiesbaden], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624535775913/ the Rhine], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624660756198/ the Opel Factory], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624536236147/ Holiday Park], and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624536236147/ Worms], plus plenty of [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624267121744/ random photos]I also took lots of photos of [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157624267144712/ trains and transit systems]

I’m super happy where I am at.  This is the type of job I was aiming for throughout MIT; I think I was well-prepared by MIT; and I think .Yahoo is also in a very interesting state at the momentThey are rapidly redoing everythingThis makes new grads are handed large chunks of the product to manage, because they are so understaffed for what the need is.  In addition, they are in the midst of a huge culture changeThey are replacing their cube farms with open desksThey are rebuilding teams, which were previously laid offIt’s very interesting to work with people on either side of the culture change and to experience the before-and-after at the same time.
This trip help boost my flickr count to over 50,000 items!  Almost all of the photos are [[geotagged]]. Over the summer I bought a new geologger, the [[I-Blue Tripmate 850 GPS Logger]].  This new logger is a lot more sensitive and accurate than my old [[AMOD 8050 GPS Logger]].  In addition it has a screen and a Bluetooth connection so you can see live data as it is recording. I’ve included a geotrack of my time in Venice, to demonstrate how good this logger is[http://geoov.com Geoov] should be up and running again with my latest photosI built it last summer so I and others could see where I have been by displaying all of my geotagged photos on one mapI love seeing more and more areas being filled in!

I also built out my wiki with some new features and content.  I extended the [[FlickrSet Extension]] to help meet some of my needsI also built a [[Delicious Extension]] from scratch.  In both cases I want to display more of my content from other sites directly on the relevant page on my wiki.  I have not made much use of the extensions, but I am now able to pull flickr items and items tagged on delicious straight into certain wiki pagesI also wrote some new content about the [[Laptops]], [[Cameras]], [[GPS Loggers]], [[MP3 Players]], and [[Cell Phones]] devices I have owned.

I’m in charge of designing the platform Yahoo uses to know where you are, and I help designing the membership, accounts, and security features of YahooThe work is very similar to what I did at MIT – brainstorming solutions, designing schemes, working with other stakeholders to refine plans and achieve consensus.   
  
I also figured out [[Display of OneNote notebooks|a way to once again display OneNote notebooks]]This new method uses Microsoft Office Online/SkyDrive and it works in all browsersHowever I could not trick it into embedding into my site, so you will have to click to go offsite.  Also, ink will not display.  I’ve uploaded ink notebooks from first semester in the legacy 2007 web export style.  This displays ink, but only works in IE and Opera. This works out well since I was switching to [[Learning to Learn at MIT|scanned paper anyway]] and [[T4220|my tablet]] broke in MarchSome of my notebooks from second semester were all in paper anyway, so I just uploaded a series of PDFs with the pages scanned in.  I know this is lower tech, but in my experience, this is how I learn best. So check out my notes from [[MIT Freshmen|freshmen year]]. 
+
As an APM, I’m part of Yahoo’s inner circle – giving it the feel of a small companyMy experience working with administrators at MIT prepared me very well for working with the executives at Yahoo.  It's probably the best business/leadership/PM experience possible in the world for someone just out of school.  I think it's rivals management consulting in terms of business experience - since you're directly responsible for something, but still involved at a high level.   I think one learns by doing and by being exposed to stuffThe greater scope and responsibility one has, the more one learns, I believe.
  
I am still covering the latest in tech news on The Weekly Spin podcast. With the start of episode 68, I wanted to redouble my effort I put into the podcast to be better prepared with the issues and stories.  I am very interested in the things I cover and along with some of my classes this year I want to be able to understand the issues betterHopefully this extra effort will pay off in the show’s qualityBeing on a better internet connection should help as well.

==Mountain View==
 +
[[File:Mountain View Home.jpg|thumb|Mountain View Home]]
 +
[[File:Chevy Volt.jpg|thumb|Chevy Volt]]
 +
I'm settled into my new place in [[Mountain View]]. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157634601732288/ Photos] I'm sharing a house with 2 other guys, who were friends of friends.  I've purchased a [[Chevy Volt]][http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157634595577805/ Photos] It goes 40 miles in a charge, but after that it can use gasIn almost 2 months, I haven't gone to the gas station once!
  
It looks like I will be shutting [http://apps.facebook.com/gridview GridView] down at the end of the yearFacebook recently discontinued the “Boxes” tab and they will completely remove application tabs from your Facebook profiles by the end of the year. You, and you alone, will still be able to see your GridView on the app’s page.  I don’t think this small bit of functionality will be worth continuing to maintain GridView and keep it alive.  I originally envisioned it as a way to show off your Facebook friends on your Facebook profile.  With this change, Facebook will be prohibiting the purpose of the application.  If you object, and think that being able to see your grid is still useful, please send me your feedback.
+
I'm meeting a lot of new people hereEveryone seems to be a friend of a friend at least, and about 20-30% have heard of me before! That's kinda scarey!
+
 
It is also time to look forward to [[:File:MIT Sophomore Fall Schedule Plan.pdf|next year]].  It my first year taking [[Management]] classes, since I got general requirements out of the way my first year. The department strongly suggests I take [[15.279|15.279 Management Communication for Undergraduates]].  I just did 2 communications classes last semester, so I am grudgingly going along with their recommendation.  I am also doing the requirement [[15.501|15.501 Corporate Financial Accounting] to get it out of the way, and I want to understand all of the financial terms, as well know how to manage the money in my own businessI am also doing [[14.01|14.01 Principles of Microeconomics]I believe this is a requirement, and a fairly introductory classI took a similar class in high school, but I have heard that the MIT version is very different!  I am also taking a graduate-level management class [[15.567|15.567 The Economics of Information: Strategy, Structure and Pricing] which is about the internet and the sale of information.  At MIT most of the detail classes are grad classes, so I wanted to try one out. This is my one interesting, somewhat discretionary class this semester.  I have to take another math class [[6.041|6.041 Probabilistic Systems Analysis] for the management degree, so I have to do this one.  I never really learned probability, which seems more interesting to me than Calculus.  At HHS, the probability class was an easy math option, but I have my doubts at MITI also want to get a better understanding of computer science by taking a few classes, although I am not planning on majoring in CS.  So I am taking the first class [[6.01|6.01 Introduction to EECS]] to get a well-rounded introduction to computer science.  This should help improve my programming by giving me a theoretical base to work from.  It will be a fair bit of work, but I hope this will positively shape how I think, like [[8.01]]/[[8.02]] did for me last semester (see [[Learning to Learn at MIT]]So this is 69 units, which is a lot.  I may drop one of the classes if it becomes too much work.
+
==Leaving MIT==
+
I had my best semester ever, my last semester at MIT.  I had 5 As and one B-.  I was literally 10 points away from a 5.0!
This summer I did a bit of work on my UROP at the Media Lab on [[SocialSaver]].  If you are at MIT you can help by [http://mealtime.mit.edu joining the experiment]. I do not plan on continuing to work on that project.  For [[MAS.111]], [[:File:My Experience SocialSaver UROP Compressed.pptx|I presented on my experience]]. I will be continuing as [[VPFS]] at [[Baker House]] and I will be picking up a job working on the [http://baker.mit.edu Baker Website]. I also plan on continuing to work on the [[Athena Committee]] for [[UA CSL]]MIT has already started implementing some of our recommended changes to upgrade printers and move dorm printers under a full support model.  I also plan on becoming more involved in [[SIPB]], the computing club at MIT.

This semester I used 32 inches of paper, as well as 31 pensHere is a chart of usage over time:

 +
[[File:Pens and Paper Usage.png]]
 +
 
 +
I wrote up two white papers on MIT Policy.  [[A Framework for Community Engagement]] is a refinement of the community engagement process which administrators currently follow. [[Problem Solving Teams]] proposes having students work as "management consultants" on the Institute’s biggest problemsThis joins [[Unrelenting Advocacy]], about how stundets should act like lobbyists and consultants.  This rounds up my [MIT Policy White Papers] series.

[[File:MIT Graduation.jpg|thumb|MIT Graduation]]
 +
Graduation was a super rainy affair - it was pretty miserable. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157634578617238/ PhotosHowever, I'm happy to say that I've now graduatedIt was sad to leave all of the stuff I really liked about MIT behind.
  
So that is all for now, with classes starting up at MIT, that will be taking up my time.  I still have to update my bio to cover the full scope of the things I am interested in.  --[[User:ThePlaz|ThePlaz]] 01:15, 10 September 2010 (EDT)
+
I used the time I was off (3 weeks at MIT, 3 weeks at home, and 3 weeks in CA) to get organized and clean up my stuff.  I emptied some boxes I hadn’t touched in yearsI scanned more paper.  However, I have still not managed to post my MIT stuff or more from the archives.
  
 +
==Personal Style==
 +
I also spent some time to reflect on my [[Personal Style]].  I spent several months iterating on this - and it ended up being quite lengthy!  I wanted to record this, because I know with will update over time, and I wanted to make a record of it.  I think it's also helpful for people to know how I approach problem solving.
