There's one in the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park too.

There used to be one at Denver's Museum of Nature & Science -- I remember being fascinated by it as a kid.

For the past month, Yahoo has been making its logo do various things, like using the exclamation point for a jump rope, or skateboarding, etc.. Today it's throwing letters--the mail type--all over. They don't seem to be following a particular theme, just whatever their IT team or whoever comes up with on a daily basis. Somewhat interesting, though.

I saw a headline reading "Google Celebrates Yosemite's Birthday Because You Can't." I thought it summed things up fairly well.
