Code to find a set of fuzzy blobs and their areas in a binary image. Each contiguous black area of the image runs a connected measure-blob pro- cess that names it and calculates its area. The set of blobs is collected by the root process and made accessible to the user on the response actuator...

I'm Michael Plasmeier otherwise known as ThePlaz. I am a senior at Haverford High School as well as a web developer and project manager with a focus on user experience and design. I am also a TV Show producer and host and an open source app maintainer. Next year, I will be attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). See Why MIT for more.

1. created mathematical models of data coming from mobile devices and an algorithm that analyzed this data from his sample of 100 students and could predict what each would do next. ..he has been working with much larger mobile data sets from up to 250 million people in Europe, Asia, and Africa to help telecom companies ..understand their customers and .. create a model of contagion dissemination. 2. past two years in Kenya. The majority of the mobile phone user market lives in developing countries and is under-served, a condition which motivated MIT to start EPROM, Entrepreneurial Programming and Research on Mobiles, to make sure computer science students in Africa learn how to program mobile phones. ..describes 2 .. projects... – one in which mobile text messaging has been used for hospital blood supply management across the country and a second in which an SMS bulletin board was created allowing low-end mobile handsets to access web content similar to craigslist."
