Norm's joke here is probably better than any retelling of the Aristocrats joke.
If you click it you should be able to watch the whole episode.

Beatles Rockband
Just when the whole play plastic instruments in a videogame genre began to feel stale and played out, Harmonix announced plans for a Beatles themed Rock Band. For those who haven't seen it, here's the ridiculously awesome intro cinematic: Clicky Clicky
Anyway I won't go into how awesome the plastic instruments look (SPOILER: They look awesome!) or the fact that you can sing harmonies with multiple people, or the already announced 10 songs or already announced DLC (Some might even be in my list, it's like a game for the reader!), but I will do what probably every other blog has done, and that's list my top 10 songs that I NEED to have in the game either straight away or as downloadable content. (Watch, they will all conveniently appear only as downloadable content just to make me pay more).
In no particular order:
What songs do YOU want in this game? Leave a list in the comments.

Burning the candle at both ends
Disclaimer: OK maybe I'm not burning it at both ends, but I'm certainly burning it at one end pretty quickly while entirely neglecting the other end.
I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the realization that I'm "graduating" in May from college, but lately I seem to have been trying to do stuff. Doing stuff includes going to Buffalo every weekend to get drunk and then crashing at a friend's place (or friend's crashing at my place). Doing stuff includes driving from Buffalo to Elmira to see a friend in a musical (Check it free plug!). Doing stuff apparently does not include doing thesis work.
Obviously this last part has to change. I need to finish this thing by the end of May and it's not going to write itself. It just seems that I have zero motivation when I sit down and write it. I stare at the screen for an hour and write a sentence. Then I get frustrated and surf the internet for another hour and before I know it the day is gone. Case in point: Right now I probably should be working on it, and instead I'm typing up a blog post. Lucky for me I have a negligible amount of work for my other classes, so I can afford to spend a ton of it on this.
And yet I'm not going to stop doing stuff. Next week is Beerology at the Buffalo Museum of Science. Never has science been so delicious! Let's just hope that this lack of sleep combined with a build up of work doesn't end up killing me! Hell, even if it does, it was probably worth it.

Image Detection Algorithms
Recently I discovered a "Nudity Detector" (
) web service. Basically you give it an image and it gives you a Nudity score. Most likely this is used to censor images on websites that don't allow nudity. However I've decided to use it in conjunction with the Facebook API to rank pictures so one could more easily find the "more interesting" pictures on Facebook. My protoype seems to be working, however I lack the webspace to host it currently, but when I do I shall share it with all of you.
As most image processing algorithms nothing is perfect so you'll get some false positives and false negatives. However the following image scored by far the highest score of any image I've seen so far at a whopping 99.9. This means that it's nearly certain that nudity exists in this image if I understand this algorithm correctly. Without further ado, below is that image: (Click for full size)

What I want more than anything in the world
At this moment, right now at 1:27 AM on Tuesday, February 24th, 2009, more than anything in the world I want to look like Paul Rudd in this picture.
(Click image for a larger one)
You could offer me sex with a supermodel or a cure for Crohns and right now I would choose to look like Paul Rudd in that picture.

Tumbling through the blogosphere
So there's this thing called tumblr that's like some sort of Micro-blogging site. Since Nussypaloozy has gotten a little stagnant I figured I'd spice things up. Now Nussypaloozy.blogspot.com has a sister site located at nussypaloozy.tumblr.com. It's like this sites kid brother or something. Anyway, I don't think anyone reads this site so I doubt anyone will read that one either.
