Canvatorium (revamped)
I’m excited to (re)introduce my long-term project “Canvatorium”, an experimental design lab for spatial computing. Why? It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to work on Canvatorium.

Use it to quickly test ideas, preview themes, plug-ins, design concepts, etc. Introduced by Matt Mullenweg during State of the Word 2022. Check out WordPress Playground.

My Lazy ExecuteSQL Template for FileMaker
I don’t use ExecuteSQL as much as I used to, but this template comes in handy when I do. I use this in the Data View to jumpstart my query. If I end up using the calculation in production, I’ll replace the table and field strings with references.
