Happy Inventors’ Day! Wait, the inventors have their own day? Of course they do! They take creative risks in the name of making life easier, so they’ve earned it. This day also marks the unofficial end to our celebration of 22 record breaking years. A reminder that although over six million patents exist, somehow there are always more to be conceived. So don’t just sit there, get on with it!

It’s been real, educational, inspirational, and most of all fun! Thanks for joining us over the last month as we explored innovation through play. And a special hat tip to our resident mad scientist, IBM Fellow John Cohn, for his fascinating experiments, awesome insights and playful brilliance.
Stay tuned for more digestible tech tidbits—some you can even cook up yourself: because Watson and Bon Appetit have been in cahoots and have some concoctions to share with you very soon, here on IBMblr.

Just because you’re a grown up, doesn’t mean Play needs to evaporate from your life —like this gallium alloy spoon in hot water. Making time for play can bring fruitful results to your work, relationships and home life.
