There’s a common misconception that data is the next best thing to a holy relic of science — objective, mathematical, clean, correct, and above all, always useful. A more accurate analogy for data would be a hoarder’s storage locker. If you’re like most people, you ...

A little bird told me you’ve been seeing some repeating numbers or coming across mirror hours. 11:11 12:21 Nah, I’m just kidding. Nobody told me, but I felt called to do this easy guide to Angel Numbers since I’ve been seeing a lot over the summer! I must be on th...

Friends in town, again, and, of course, another opportunity to take someone to see a Broadway show. Love all of these opportunities! We decided on Harry Potter & the Cursed Child, playing at the Lyric Theatre, a gorgeous theatre made even more fun by the introduction of the paraphen...

Reflecting on an Unforgettable Year As we look back on the past year, our hearts return to the enchanting city of Prague, where the Vltava River provided a picturesque backdrop for MyQ’s spectacular 11th Showtime event on September 22–23, 2022. This extraordinary occasion was a fusion...
