Darth Vader and friends



Inventor (digital) & gardens
At the opening of George Lucas's (Star War's creator) complex in the Presidio in 2005, he said he chose San Francisco for the site of his empire because it is where 'digital' was invented. The complex is surrounded by beautiful gardens with lovely walkways, and Jedi master Yoda greets visitors atop a  stone fountain at the front door.

Darth Vader and a few of his other friends stand in the lobby. Amazingly, also placed prominently in the lobby is a beautiful marble IBM typewriter. How could something I've used earlier in my life already be set in stone!!

The one and only!
'My' old IBM typewriter!
