(Not Really) Wordless Wednesday (The Steve Jobs Edition)

Last week I had a meeting at the Patent Office, so I got to see the Steve Jobs Exhibit.

I think they did a really nice job designing the exhibit–it’s simple, but elegant, like so many Apple products.

Each display panel shows 12 patents that name Steve Jobs as an inventor (there are over 300!) or Apple trademark certificates. The end panels have pictures of Steve Jobs (shown) and some of his quotes.

The exhibit has been extended through February 25, so if you find yourself in Alexandria, Virginia between 9-5 on a weekday or 12-5 on a Saturday, you might want to check it out.

While you’re there, you also can check out the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame and Museum, which is in the same building. Its current exhibit is called Exercising Ingenuity: Inventions in Health and Fitness.

It has several displays and tributes to Jack Lalane

and many items that make me grateful for the advances we’ve made since the fitness industry first got started.
