  • May 2 is Celebrate Wildlife Day at Grand Canyon National Park. Special activities at the park include bird walks, talks on bats and mountain lions, track identification, live animal demonstrations, and more.

  • It's the perfect beach accessory. Sharp plans to release the world's first waterproof solar-powered cell phone this June.

  • While I never thought I'd post about poo (and certainly not twice in one week), Yamaha just unveiled a methane-powered golf cart.

  • The Chicago Beans: This summer, the city plans to feature two new structures, designed by Zaha Hadid and Ben van Berkel, similar to the Millennium Park's famous Bean.

  • Eat, breathe, and be merry: This weekend at London's Alcoholic Architecture, patrons can get drunk simply by standing at the bar. The bar will serve gin and tonics as a fine mist in the air. Just 40 minutes of breathing the stuff is equivalent to consuming one strong drink.

  • In case you didn't get enough Earth Day celebrations (or just want to kill some time looking at pretty pictures on a Friday), check out these Earth Day Aerials.
