Washington Yu Ying PCS was covered by WTOP in this webcast as well as on the air (I guess).  Following on the heels of a suprisingly not-snarky piece in the City Paper, it feels as though the school is leading a charmed media existance, at least for now..

I’ve basically been completely swamped by the perfect storm of a major project at work and the “launch” of Yu Ying.  The latter project is off to a fabulous start, the former is, er, troubled at the moment. Thus, no posting for over a month. We opened the doors of the school the day after [...]

I hope to migrate at least one significant work project and infrastructure component into the cloud this year. More important, as we start up Washington Yu Ying [...]
