Time to toss aside the metaphorical, moth-eaten shrouds and fire up the Sci-Fi-O-Rama engines.
Firstly I’d like to apologise for the extremely long delay in posting and general lack blog activity. Nothing particularly noteworthy to say here other than that this was mainly due to a few upheavals with career, relationship, moving cities etc. Yes, the standard trials of life, all fine now but distracting at the time and hence the prolonged dormant state.
This initial posting then is something of a recap, similar I guess to when a TV shows producers cobble together and recycle old material. So as Sci-Fi-O-Rama rapidly approaches 5 years of age, something of a reboot is in order. As starters I thought would be apt to tag all the catalouged art from top to bottom and add to a specific Pinterest board. I guess I could of course of added all the images back to Flickr or ported them to Tumblr, or other micro blogging platforms, but I chose Pinterest as I believe it presents the content in the most visual and easily consumable fashion. There is no official endorsement as such here, and I feel somewhat virgin again in a heady blogosphere that moves so quickly. So the briefest of breif intro to Pinterst – clicking upon the thumbnail will take you through to the original posted article, but you’l need to be signed up with Pinterest to add images to your own boards.
Check out the Sci-Fi-O-Rama Pinterest board here.
One further note for regular Pinterest users or indeed the casual observer, I’ve also started a Sci-Fi-O-Rama overflow board to help collect and catagorise prospective content, so if you’d like a sneak peak at possible future posts follow this link.
So what are the future plans for Sci-Fi-O-Rama? Of course new material is primary and yes finally there are several things lined up. I’d also like to refresh the design and to a more contemporary magazine type look, though this of course can wait…
A quick recap then, Sci-Fi-O-Rama is not dead, new content is coming, in the meantime scroll through the past 5 years as quick as your Internet conection will allow for!
Thanks for the support

Superb work, I haven’t succumbed to Pinterest (as yet!).
Cheers, It’s seems a decent service to me, certainly a quick way to browse hundreds of images….
YAY! More atmospheric space scenes and crazy shaped spaceships please!
Welcome back! My browser was taking suspiciously long to load sci-fi-o-rama today and I had a brief moment of panic where I thought that the site was down. Phew, close call! and then it’s going to have new posts soon! Awesome!!!
Hey Kieran,
No need to apologise for infrequent posts, you’ve created an awesome blog!
Pinterest looks to be a great way to show a lot of images quickly.. and you do have a lot of cool stuff! Thanks for sharing again.
Love your blog- was missing it!
Many Thanks Adam, Travis, Tali and Wayne…
I have the Christmas Break coming up, so plenty of downtime to get posting..
cheers for the support

Sci-fi-O-Rama lives on hopefully….I’d fear keeping this excellent site active during the your transitional periods would prove difficult due your own lack of time to scrounge new source material. Would you be open to links/scans emailed for your review? Gopher credit via this rockin’ site would not be required, because I’m thankful for the old skool scifi education I’ve received from your diligent work on this site, I imagine others must feel the same way?
Thanks Hethatis,
some really nice words there, I appreciate your concern, I actually do intend to try and up the ante this year! but I’ve said that before haven’t I
!
I would be up for any new material, should you wish to forward? get in touch on mail [ at ] sci-fi-o-rama.com (the worlds hardest to remember URL)
Cheers
So glad you’re back! Always something intriguing when I check in.
Cheers Sarah, going to try and keep up with the posting this year!
