Good morning.
For Whitewater’s Wednesday, it’s a breezy day with a high of eighty-one.
From Google’s daily puzzle, it’s a mix of food and clothing: “I probably didn’t invent the beef fillet baked in puff pastry that shares my name. But I am responsible for an article of clothing. What is it?”
Update, 3.21.12: Turns out another Wired story is almost certainly a fraud: See, Bird-Man’s Resume Doesn’t Check Out: ‘Nobody Knows Him’. The story was improbable, but that doesn’t matter to me – it’s that it’s fake, regardless of likelihood, that matters.
I’m not particularly forgiving of a second shoddy story, so future Wired stories (parent company Conde Nast) are now banned from any site I publish.
I don’t care what they’re about – they will never appear on this site again. Light is forgivable and sometimes a guilty pleasure, but for sloppy-wrong I have no sympathy.

If you’ve ever wanted to fly — fly the way birds do — perhaps you might want to talk to Dutch engineer Jarno Smeets.
Video from YouTube now removed – link to so-called ‘project website’ also removed.
