Dear Tom: Boy is this making the rounds...

Boy is this making the rounds today. Last week the SF Examiner noted that Governor Arnold vetoed a bill that would have allowed San Francisco to issue bonds for the rebuild of crumbly Pier 70 into offices and retail. At the time, the paper noted that the governor's letter to Assemblyman Tom Ammiano - the guy who catcalled the guv with "kiss my gay ass" some days earlier - said "major issues are overlooked while many unnecessary bills come to me for consideration." Today, the Chron took a closer look at the actual letter and noticed that, in classic spy style, the leftmost letters spell out "Fuck You" vertically. Hilarity has, naturally, ensued, though Schwarzenegger's office says it's only a "weird coincidence." As if the governor's that clever, right? [SFGate, previously]

Artist/architect Maya Lin, who designed the California Academy of Science's wireframe thing of San Francisco's hills, might have created her last art piece memorial!, ever. That would be "What is Missing?", a big cone thing also at the Academy that is a tribute to extinct animal species. Lin rocketed to design fame when she won a blind competition at the age of 21 to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C., and now her office is saying that she's done for good.
