How to Heal Faster – Gear Patrol
Outside of the comic book world of Wolverine, Sabretooth and the Incredible Hulk, there’s no such thing as magic healing. If you get sliced, bruised or generally wounded, it takes us far longer to get back into fighting condition than our make-believe counterparts. But, thankfully, there are things you can do to improve your body’s ability to heal that don’t involve genetic manipulation. It’s more than popping a magic pill or downing a miracle elixir — it’s far more of a lifestyle that will give your body the ability to bounce back. Here’s how to get yourself back in the game by decreasing down-and-out time.

User Experience for Product Designers
Five simple steps product designers can use to build better web apps.
On small teams where time resources are limited user experience can often be overlooked. Over the past few months I’ve tried to develop a low impact UX cycle that designers and project managers can use to improve the quality of web apps without adding a lot of bloat to a project. This article will be written from the viewpoint of an app that is currently in-use. The UX process will vary slightly for a new product but the same basic principles exist. Below is a five-step process going through a development cycle that defines a detailed look at best practices in the UI/UX discipline.

Guac-Off
During our last team meetup, we had a “guac-off”, where 2 of us made our own recipes of guacamole, and then everyone “blind taste tested” (aka devoured them, without knowing who made which one), and we voted. Mine won! In the end it was the texture (more chunky) that won it for me. Someone asked for the recipe, and this is the best I could give them:
- Avocados (1-3 depending on size and how much you’re making, scoop out with a spoon, roughly dice, mash into bowl with a fork. Leave at least one half out, un-mashed, and add it in later to keep some more chunky texture)
- Tomato (~1 whole, remove all the seeds/juicy bits, and dice the outside flesh)
- Cilantro (handful, chopped up roughly)
- Yellow Onion (~1/4, finely diced)
- Lime Juice (usually 1 or less full limes’ worth; too much makes everything watery)
- Jalapeño (~1, as much flesh as you want, and then include seeds to taste, that’s where the heat is)
- Garlic (optional, I don’t remember if I had this during the meetup. Just a tiny bit (half a clove) either way, it really “comes to life” in guac)
- Salt and Pepper (uses quite a bit of both, especially salt. Just keep adding and tasting until it’s good)
I start out by scooping, slicing and mashing up 1 avocado, and leaving one to the side. Then I’ll chop the onion, tomato, jalpeño and cilantro, and get that all in there. This is also when the garlic goes in (if you’re using it). While adding these, I’ll mix it and mash it a little bit, just to make sure it’s all mixed through. Now scoop, slice and throw in the other avocado, then add lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix it up (mashing a little more in the process) and keep adding salt/pepper until you get the taste you’re after. You can also tweak with more jalapeño or lime juice at this point, which is where a lot of the taste comes from.

Kontakt.io: Beacons & Beyond
Long-lasting, well-rated iBeacons. Should be compatible with Beecon for automating things at home.

Manage, detect and range iBeacons around you. Create multiple regions and define actions that are triggered when you enter or leave them.
Home Automation/Presence
I’ve been thinking about home automation a bit recently, and I realized that what I want as a big part of a system is some sort of generic presence-system. I’m imagining something along the lines of:
- Small/cheap nodes that can be plugged in around a house/space
- The nodes would form a mesh and talk to each other
- Nodes would determine the strength of a signal (Bluetooth LE?) and “discuss” it amongst each other to determine which one you’re closest to, and thus roughly “where” you are (triangulate your location based on signal strengths)
- Nodes would all connect to a server/service (could be locally-hosted), where they would broadcast your current location somehow. Maybe something like a Socket.IO server, so that other services could connect and receive live updates of location changes?
I wonder if this could be hacked together from iBeacons somehow, or if it’s too much the reverse of what they’re intended for? Does this already exist? Is there a better/simpler solution already available?

Couldn’t have timed it better. Pre-check with 0 line. Premier boarding with immediate walk-on to plane. If only all travel was like this!
Welcome reception at #wpvip. Great conversations and great kickoff to the event.
