I have finished my voting for the Annie Awards. It worked nicely after a hiccup with the network at one of the schools I teach at and way too much security on the school`s server. It was nice to only have to trek into
LA for one Annie screening (the shorts are only excerpts). Make sure that you get your ballot in on time.

The final list is out for the Afternoon of Remembrance. The good news is that we are down 7 people from last year. If you have never been to this event you are missing out on a lot of amazing stories about a lot of amazing people.
