Why Instagram

Instagram is a wildly popular photo application that allows you to apply a number of different filters to photos either already on your phone or ones taken through the application.  It also integrates a social media aspect in that the pictures you pass through Instagram are uploaded to a stream that can be viewed by other Instagramers if you so choose.  You can follow celebrities and friends alike to see what photos they've been Instagraming.  Some people who are anti social media will brush this off as another fad and won't understand its usefulness.  Thus this post was written.

Instagram isn't just another social media application.  It's a very simple, yet powerful, photo editing application.  Instagram can take an otherwise ho hum, boring picture and make it quite artistic.  Not only that, but it can take an otherwise terrible, dark picture and turn it into a beautiful work of art.  I'll provide two examples and let you decide for yourself.

Wireless Lapel Mic for Cisco Conference Calls

I was recently asked by one of our VP’s to investigate a way for people who are at a remote location to participate in a presentation at our corporate office.    My first thought was video conferencing, but video wasn’t necessary because participants didn’t need to see each other.    The only real requirement was to see the presentation slides and hear the presentation audio.    Since we have a Cisco Meetingplace server I figured that would be easy.    The challenge was the VP wanted the presenter to be heard clearly and not have to speak directly into a phone.    He suggested we find a wireless lapel mic. After looking at the  7937 product data sheet it noted that the phone supports "a third-party lapel microphone kit".  I assumed this was a Polycom product since the Cisco conference phones are made by Polycom.   I opened a chat session on Cisco’s website.    Both a Cisco agent and his supervisor said they didn’t know how the lapel mic worked.    They also didn’t know where
