If you enjoy Kaleidotrope, and are eligible to vote, I hope that you'll consider including us in your choices. You still have until February 28, 2009, to register your votes online.

I'm especially proud of all the great work Kaleidotope published in 2008 and look forward to many more years. I appreciate your support.
