Extraordinary Machine was worth the wait.

Asa brings to our attention tonight a 2GB Memorex USB stick that comes preloaded with Thunderbird. It's meant to be a travel companion and includes Tbird as an easy way to access third-party email on the road. Remember, the more people exposed to Thunderbird, the more people will begin to realize that Outlook is a load of shit.
For whatever reason, Slashdot ran a post/link for the Firemonger Project today. This isn't a bad thing, of course. Firemonger is a sort of unofficial guerilla marketing campaign for Firefox and Thunderbird, and the more exposure it gets, the better. Firemonger is essentially a burnable CD image consisting of Firefox 1.0.7, Thunderbird 1.0.7, and a long list of plug-ins, extensions, and themes, along with documentation to help new users make the switch from IE and Outlook.
I've been preoccupied with Fiona Apple's new album Extraordinary Machine lately, and haven't thought about much else lately besides, of course, Ghost Recon, which I'm also obsessed with. I read Josh Modell's review of Machine at the AV Club, and within five minutes my copy was on order from Amazon along with a copy of Fiona's first album, Tidal, a CD I used to have two of, but somehow over the years I ended up with none of. Machine is clearly Fiona's and Fiona's alone, meaning there's just no way to categorize it, except to place it alongside Tidal and When the Pawn... My copy came as a dual-disc. The DVD side has live performances of a few songs from the new record and two from When the Pawn..., plus the video for Not About Love, which is as funny as it is awesome. It also has the DVD-audio version of the album, and it sounds so ridiculously good that there's just no reason whatsoever to flip the disc over to the CD side.
