Some people train their body, some people train their minds.  Some people play Civilization 4 all night.  Those are my options, at least.

I’m watching these weird videos about a guy who used to be a super famous body builder on Venice Beach back in the 80s, with Ahnold and Hulk Hogan and all those guys, but now it’s 2013 and he’s still there, living on the beach now. I remember meeting him once or twice back in 1999, but he’s still there.  He’s an old homeless guy with missing front teeth and weird, detumescent looking arms.  Most of those guys are gone.  A couple are still famous.  But there’s this one guy, Bill Pettis, who’s still exactly there, vibrating between both states.

The good news is that the waste heat from my ASIC chips helps to keep my room warm.

The bad news is that I live in Texas, so I only have four months until I really, really don’t want any more waste heat in my room.

The really bad news is that these two eruptors that I bought are not going to make back what I paid for them in time. Not unless I leave them on for all four months and Bitcoins stabilize at about $1,000 and namecoins achieve 1=1 parity with bitcoins.

So, when they tell you don’t get into mining unless you’re getting in all the way, they mean it. It’s over for small investments in mining. Unless you want an expensive space heater.
