In the current battle for my next leased vehicle, a contender from the sidelines makes its way to center stage:
Volkswagen has updated (or will be updating) its Tiguan SUV for the 2012 model year, bringing along a sleek new grille, tweaked interior and price in SEL trim that undercuts the Audi Q5 2.0T by about $4,000 while also being 400 lbs lighter on its feet. I’m definitely going to be driving both back to back to settle this internal argument of mine.
I attended my first – and last, as it’s now defunct – User Services Conference today with my Media Commons partner in crime (if you define crime as massive caffeine consumption at the complementary coffee bar) Hannah Inzko. Held at the Penn Stater, the event was a chance for those who support the end users of PSU’s technology resources to come together and discuss how services are offered and how offerings can be improved. We broke in to teams to discuss topics like “keeping current with new technologies” and “doing more with fewer resources” after a panel presentation on what support means. It was very back to basics and a good way to spend a rainy (and then sunny) Monday. Big thanks to Hannah for talking me into tagging along!
