A Visit From the Twitter Squad: The New Yorker Fiction Department's Twitter account (@NYerFiction) plans to tweet Jennifer Egan's new story, "Black Box," in its entirety. The story will be tweeted over the next ten evenings, from 8 to 9 P.M. E.T. "I found myself imagining a series of terse mental dispatches from a female spy of the future, working undercover by the Mediterranean Sea. I wrote these bulletins by hand in a Japanese notebook that had eight rectangles on each page," Jennifer Egan wrote on the New Yorker's Page Turner blog.(5:18pm) via The New Yorker

Solar Plane Flying 1,550 Miles: After an inaugural flight between Paris and Brussels last year, the sun-powered aircraft, the Solar Impulse, has embarked on its longest journey yet — this one taking it from Payerne, Switzerland to Morocco, 1,550 miles away. The high-tech, lightweight aircraft uses 12,000 solar cells to harvest sunlight and convert it into electricity for its four electric engines. The trip is a dress rehearsal for the plane's round-the-world flight planned for 2014. (3:36 p.m.) via AFP

The Unibomber Updates Status: Ted Kaczynski, "The Unibomber," recently had a chance to update his status, reports The Globe and Mail. 1962 alumni from Kaczynski 's alma mater, Harvard, sharing personal news in their alum directory, might have been shocked to find Kaczynski's occupation changed to "prisoner." Under awards, he wrote, “Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998.” Harvard apologized for publishing Kaczynski's contribution.

Man Eats Endangered Eagle: What happens when you shoot, kill and then eat a critically endangered species? In the Philippines, not much. In the first case brought under the Philippine’s 2001 Wildlife Act, a farmer was fined 100,000 pesos (about $2,300) for shooting and eating one of the rarest eagles — the Philippine eagle, or Pithecophaga jefferyi. Conservationists slammed the punishment, saying it was a “pathetic” slap on the wrist against someone who depleted an already at-risk population. Just an estimated 90-250 pairs of this bird, the world’s largest eagle, are left in the wild, according to the Union for the Conservation of Nature. The fine issued to the Philippine farmer was the lowest punishment prescribed by the 2001 act. (12:30 p.m.) via AFP
