I just spent 5 days on a deep dive on cricket 🏏in New Zealand 🇳🇿https://www.charlesherring.com/blog/cricket

After a year, we are finally settled into New Zealand. I decided to share my candid and exhaustive notes in hopes they may be of help to others: www.charlesherring.com/new-zealand-...

Officially old & loving it!

Next round of ArtiFish updates are coming soon.

My ramblings made it into @vmblog.bsky.social 's AI Appreciation Day: vmblog.com/archive/2025...

Making some cool Kiwi friends in Christchurch 🇳🇿already!

It was great having one more Cubs game before heading off to New Zealand. The only thing better than the game was the company.

Thanks to Chicago for 20 great years. I've learned so much about life, business & growing up here. You are the greatest city in America with inspiring sites, mind-blowing cuisine & passionate, honest people. I hope to see you again soon.

I've pushed some updates to the ArtiFish code repo to allow RAG database (Cassandra & Chroma DB) creation & inference, using Internet data enrichment in inferencing. I've included Unsloth optimizations to allow finetuning & inference from home/gaming/cheap GPU's. github.com/f15hb0wn/Art...

Last Saturday before heading back to Chicago. What a great trip!

Relaxing visit to Nelson, NZ 🇳🇿

77.3 degrees further south than my sweet home, Mobile, Alabama. One of the few places in this world that this Southern boy can accurately be called a Northerner!

As far South as I've ever been. Dunedin is gorgeous!

I had a ball exploring Dunedin today. It's a bright & uplifting city near the bottom of the world.
