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.
+
[[12th Grade]] is almost half over. This year has certainly been less work than previous years.  I am enjoying my final year in high school with about half the workload of previous years.
  
[[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 showWe also hosted a live technology question and answer session.  7 people asked their tech questions to usYou can catch Episode 30, some time in the the futureMeanwhile, you can catch photos of our booth and Haverford Township Day 2007 on [http://www.flickr.com/photos/theplaz/sets/72157602288254634/ Flickr].
+
I've been using my tablet to take notes in school.  Before the year started, I detailed my experiences in [[The Quest for the Perfect Notetaking Medium]], an essay I wrote for [[College Application|College Applications]].  It has certainly allowed me to be more organized while spending far less time organizingAlso, being in front of a computer allows me to accomplish tasks when I think of them, not at homeIt makes the day feel like it lasts longerAs for notes on ThePlaz.com, I am now more aware of copyright concerns and I am developing my strategy for posting this years notes.
  
20 episodes of [[Tecker 911]] are outCheck out the [http://911.tecker.net Tecker 911] website.
+
This also means I am deep into college applicationsI have applied at about 5 or 6 schools. I am looking for a large university in an urban environment with an information science program. I would also like a minor in business.  My final decision will come down to a decision between a number of alternative paths I am looking into.  Financial concerns will also play a large part into choosing a school.
  
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 departmentPlus, I recived word that at least one other school is using SeniorQuoter to ease the collection of their senior quotes.
+
For the holidays, I have asked for a GPS tagger for a digital camera.  I hope to look more into geotagging in the future.  I have not found an application that can give you an overview of all of your geotagged photos......
  
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.
+
[[Tecker 911]] is up to 60 episodes online. I have about 7 which I have edited but are giving me a lot of trouble to render (or finalize).  Also, we filmed 7 more last weekend.  In the meantime you can enjoy: [http://911.tecker.net/?p=174 60: Cell Phone Internet], [http://911.tecker.net/?p=172 59: Digital Camera Workflow], [http://911.tecker.net/?p=170 58: Firefox 3], and [http://911.tecker.net more on our website]! We are hoping to make it to 100 episodes by the end of the school year.
  
[[Dictionary Robot]], my tool to help you look up a bunch of words at once is stalledGridView took off, school started, and I am working on a secret project for someone who is paying cash for me to code for themBecause I need cash, I have to work on that at this time, at the expense of working on some of my other stuff.
+
With [[SocialView]] we are working on 2 new products.  I need to dedicate more time for thisAfter working on the outsourced GridView rearrange feature I need to find the passion for continuing to do interesting projects.  I am finding it is hard to do a full day of school and homework and then come home and work.

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.
