Hey everyone!  [[11th Grade]] is about 1/8th over.  I haven't posted any of my non-typed work online.  It looks like I won't have the time for that this year.  May be I'll get someone else to do it, or do it eventually.

[[GridView]], my app for [[Facebook]] I wrote on the last day of [[10th Grade]] in about 5 hours now has over '''250,000 THOUSAND''' users with a current growth rate of about '''5,000 new users every day''''!!!!!  GridView lets you add all your friends profile pics to you Facebook profile for you and your profile visitors to see.  I was totally blown away by the popularity.  We're also rolling out GridView Mosaic, which creates a photo mosaic of your profile picture, with your friend's profile photos making up the tiles.  I am rolling this out to users as fast as I can; I'm having some scalability issues now.

[[Tecker 911]] just had a booth at [[Haverford Township Day]].  We were selling DVDs of the first 25 episodes, and raising local awareness for the show.  We also hosted a live technology question and answer session.  7 people asked their tech questions to us.  You can catch Episode 30, some time in the the future.  Meanwhile, you can catch photos of our booth and Haverford Township Day 2007 on [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157602288254634/ Flickr].

20 episodes of [[Tecker 911]] are out.  Check out the [http://911.tecker.net Tecker 911] website.

My [[Dynamic Website Building Instruction and Practical Experience Group Study]] starts in about a month.  I've planned out the first 25 days so far, the part where I teach PHP and MySQL.  I'm excited.  Potential participants, remember to file your paperwork!  [[SeniorQuoter]] is being used by our school this year, and is already reducing the work load on the yearbook department.  Plus, I recived word that at least one other school is using SeniorQuoter to ease the collection of their senior quotes.

My new computer is really sweet!  It's a [http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&a1=Usage&v1=High+performance&series_name=m8100y_series HP Pavilion Media Center m8100y] with 4GB RAM, a [http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2quad/index.htm Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600] processor, and a 22" monitor.  We got it all for less then $USD 1,400 (+tax) after getting $480 in discounts!  It really runs fast.  The only time I maxed out the processor is when encoding h.264 video for iPods.  Otherwise, the hard drive is the bottle neck for the computer.
 +
 
 +
[[Dictionary Robot]], my tool to help you look up a bunch of words at once is stalled.  GridView took off, school started, and I am working on a secret project for someone who is paying cash for me to code for them.  Because I need cash, I have to work on that at this time, at the expense of working on some of my other stuff.

I've graduated from [[Haverford High School|high school]]!  ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157619434958955/ pictures on flickr])  It has not really sunk in yet; it just feels like a normal summer vacation.  I am sad to be leaving my friends behind.  In addition, I tried out to give the commencement speech, but Chris Denny won.  You can [[:Image:Graduation Speech.doc|read my speech online]].

Our Senior Prank was regarded as the best ever.  Even the Principal joined in.  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VPl5d6K7c8 Watch the YouTube video]

Up until the last minute, I was involved with [[Haverford High School]].  With 3 other students, I wrote a [http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ah57cjpv95pz_2d5dbb7ch new technology policy draft] and presented it to the superintendent.  I have an opinion/editorial in the school newspaper, The Fordian.  I hear that the school is using my policy as a base for changes next year, and that they are currently planning a 3-month test period.  Plans, however, are not finalized.  The best part, however, was to [[On Activism|pass on a tradition of activism]] to the 3 other students.  I am also staying in touch on the new TV studio.

I did my Senior Project on [[:Image:Senior Project.doc|Electronic Voting Machine Insecurity]].  Check out the very extensive 26-page paper and the [[:Image:Electronic Voting Machine Insecurity.ppt|PowerPoint presentation]].  I covered this topic from almost every angle and found that constant vigilance is needed to protect this fragile system.

All of the OneNote Notebooks from [[12th Grade]] are now online. Unfortunately, they only works in Internet Explorer and Opera, because of the method I use.  (Come on Microsoft!)

I got a new desktop!  My old desktop, an [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/3588140890/in/set-72157619121772802/ Inspiron 600m] from [[8th Grade]] was no longer able to chug through Facebook JavaScript.  In addition, because I will be going away soon, I needed my own high powered desktop to be able to edit HD video and manage all of my files.  I purchased a new [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157619121772802/ Dell Inspiron 537 desktop].  It has an Intel Q9400 2.66GHz Quad-Core processor and 4GB of RAM.  I bought 2 20" Dell displays and a dual DVI ATI graphics card to handle them.  I installed Windows 7 RC 64-bit.  It was all about $1000, and well worth it!  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157619121772802/ Pictures on Flickr].

Next year, I will be at [http://mit.edu MIT]! ''([[Why MIT]])''  I've already signed up for the housing lottery, taken an essay placement test, and put down 5 options for an advising seminar.  I most want to get into [http://student.mit.edu/cgi-data/fas/Freshman_Advising_Seminars_A-J.html#6_A53 6.A53 Entrepreneurship and China] since you learn about global entrepreneurship and get to take a 1 month trip to China for $1000.  I am also interested in [http://student.mit.edu/cgi-data/fas/Freshman_Advising_Seminars_K-Z.html#6_A54 learning more about the electric grid (6.A54)], [http://student.mit.edu/cgi-data/fas/Freshman_Advising_Seminars_K-Z.html#15_A03 operations research (15.A03)], and [http://student.mit.edu/cgi-data/fas/Freshman_Advising_Seminars_A-J.html#MAS_A19 designing consumer electronics at the Media Lab (MAS.A19)].  Finally, I may get the opportunity to have Walter Bender, the director of the OLPC UI "Sugar", as my adviser in [http://student.mit.edu/cgi-data/fas/Freshman_Advising_Seminars_A-J.html#MAS_A12 Games, Puzzlers, and Other Things to Think With (MAS.A12)].

Lastly, I am planning on redesigning the CSS drop down menu for ThePlaz.com.  It was one of the first things I coded 4 years ago. It works on some browsers, but breaks on others.  I can do better.

Nuvola apps important.png
10/6/2007 Personal Message

Hey everyone! 11th Grade is about 1/8th over. I haven't posted any of my non-typed work online. It looks like I won't have the time for that this year. May be I'll get someone else to do it, or do it eventually.

GridView, my app for Facebook I wrote on the last day of 10th Grade in about 5 hours now has over 250,000 THOUSAND users with a current growth rate of about 5,000 new users every day'!!!!! GridView lets you add all your friends profile pics to you Facebook profile for you and your profile visitors to see. I was totally blown away by the popularity. We're also rolling out GridView Mosaic, which creates a photo mosaic of your profile picture, with your friend's profile photos making up the tiles. I am rolling this out to users as fast as I can; I'm having some scalability issues now.

Tecker 911 just had a booth at Haverford Township Day. We were selling DVDs of the first 25 episodes, and raising local awareness for the show. We also hosted a live technology question and answer session. 7 people asked their tech questions to us. You can catch Episode 30, some time in the the future. Meanwhile, you can catch photos of our booth and Haverford Township Day 2007 on Flickr.

20 episodes of Tecker 911 are out. Check out the Tecker 911 website.

My Dynamic Website Building Instruction and Practical Experience Group Study starts in about a month. I've planned out the first 25 days so far, the part where I teach PHP and MySQL. I'm excited. Potential participants, remember to file your paperwork! SeniorQuoter is being used by our school this year, and is already reducing the work load on the yearbook department. Plus, I recived word that at least one other school is using SeniorQuoter to ease the collection of their senior quotes.

My new computer is really sweet! It's a HP Pavilion Media Center m8100y with 4GB RAM, a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor, and a 22" monitor. We got it all for less then $USD 1,400 (+tax) after getting $480 in discounts! It really runs fast. The only time I maxed out the processor is when encoding h.264 video for iPods. Otherwise, the hard drive is the bottle neck for the computer.

Dictionary Robot, my tool to help you look up a bunch of words at once is stalled. GridView took off, school started, and I am working on a secret project for someone who is paying cash for me to code for them. Because I need cash, I have to work on that at this time, at the expense of working on some of my other stuff.

Michael Plasmeier
"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 [1], 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 [2] 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, [3] 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.
