4 Star Trek ideas that are now real life reality
by: Startacus Admin ~ 9th September 2013One of the realities of working in a co-working space where the majority of the other workers or startups are tech or comic or sci-fi fanatics is that it does rekindle your interest and passion for the whimsical - the adolescent passions, and the geek-esque interests of yesteryear.

Unusual Inventions - The Invisible Bicycle helmet
by: Startacus Admin ~ 19th September 2012We do love the extraordinary here at Startacus. So when we first heard of the Invisable Bicycle Helmet we have to admit we were rather blown away. So the Invisable Bicycle Helment then?
