Special Firestorm Q&A Today

We will have Dennis Harper from OnLive on hand and on stage to answer any questions you may have about SLGo, but as always with our Q&A’s, it is an open venue for you to ask us your questions about anything you like.

Topics will be about SLGo, Firestorm, what’s coming in the future, whats next and anything else that may come up.

It will be held over voice as usual, recorded and streamed live to a webpage. I will update this post with the URL for that stream just as soon as I have it.

Region may or may not fill up quickly, hard to say at this time of year. Come early.

Sunday Dec 21st @ 1pm slt in the Firestorm Auditorium

UPDATE: Live stream will be here: http://www.slartist.com/pages/fire.html

The Shortest Days 2014

In my hometown of Lund, Sweden, today sunrise occurred at 08:35 AM CET and sunset at 03:36 PM CET. We had daylight (sort of) only for 7 hours and 57 seconds. Tomorrow on December 22nd we will have approximately the same times for both sunrise and sunset but the day will be less than a second shorter.

After these two days the days will get steadily longer everyday until the Summer solstice occurs on June 21st 2015, when we will have daylight for 17:32:40. Further north in the country the swings in daylight are even more dramatic, where the sun never rises or sets North of the Polar Circle.

It isn't at all strange that we Scandinavians go crazy with mood swings during winters and summers.
