INASCIFI BLOG

Renovatio.

That’s a very good latin term I’ve learned four years ago from Michael Bay’s 2005 action packed film, The Island. The protagonist (Lincoln Six-Echo) of the story had this dream of being on a ship bearing that name, heading to the Island, a place where all people dream to go.

Renovatio… Renewel. Restoration. Rebirth

That is the sense that I’m carrying as I begin this blog.

The domain Inascifi.com has been around since 2006. Before then, the eGroup ina_sci-fi was established in 2000. Its purpose was to gather Indonesians as well those who speak Bahasa Indonesia (and English) into a forum of science fiction fans.

Yet, my attempts to start up an Indonesian scifi community was met with mediocre results.

Getting the scifi community moving in was a challenge. Biggest among them all is to get the members to particapte. The most reason lack of participation was because the members either have little access to the Internet for leisure activity, or they’re just too busy to take notice of it.

So in November 2008, I started the Inascifi blog (in http://inascifi.blogspot.com) which already contain several posts. If any of you “new readers” would like to catch up with the previous posts, you can check these old links:
November 17 2008: Inascifi blog is online
November 25 2008: Most anticipated (scifi) movies for 2009
December 8 2008: Penggunaan Bahasa Indonesia yang Baik dan Benar
January 2 2008: Happy New Year!
January 2 2008: Movie Review: The Spirit
January 17 2008: My opinions on 2009’s summer (scifi) blockbusters

In the future I’ll probably re-post them all here.

Plans for future project:
- Add more reviews, in these categories of movies, tv series, video games and books.
- Publish articles regarding science fiction concepts (i.e. time travel, cloning)
- Recruit more staff members.

Well, please wish me luck in my future endeavor with this website.
