FNDN fpunder goes from paintball pro to heated clothing.   

Travis Lemanski is a pretty well known name among serious Paintball players…and is co-founder of Infamous Paintball.  But he is also the founder of FNDN…foundation….a company that is making its mark using technology in a variety of heated clothing…

“So we started with heated gloves.  I mean obviously people have all experienced whether they are skiing or shoveling snow or being outside, whatever, cold hands.  Then we ventured into apparel where we’ve done heated vests and heated jackets.  And that’s been super successful for us.  We’ve gone another direction…which is heated base layers.”

Still handy for cold evenings in early spring.  FNDN has done an impressive job combining style with technology.  The company is looking to give customers options when it comes to which batteries will work with their garments.  For more…head to www.fndn.com.

 OWC Continues Growth and Expansion.   

 Other World Computing…or OWC…continues to innovate and grow.  CEO Larry O’Connor recently announced the acquisition of high speed storage maker InXtron…and there have been others as well.  OWC has specialized in helping users to upgrade.  O’Connor says that includes adding solid state drives and more…

“There’s all these incredible systems, you can even go back a decade, you got systems that are extremely, even two decades in some cases…machines that are still viable for the applications that they were put in place for.  And systems 2012 and later are still supported with the latest operating systems…you can ramp them up with a 2 terabyte SSD inside.  The docks that can add all the new ports to new systems and old systems alike.”

The line up is impressive at OWC.com.

 Plantronics and Polycom combine to form Poly.   

Poly is the name of a new brand created by the purchase of Polycom by Plantronics.  Chris Thorson is Senior Director of Product Marketing…

“As we went and started to do the actual research, we said obviously there’s a long history with Plantronics starting back in the aviation days over fifty years ago and headsets that went to the moon.  And on the Polycom side, also a rich history of conference phones…over five million devices there just on the conference space in rooms there.  So there was a long, rich history of both and it feels almost odd to pick one over the other so we looked at it together and said, you know, we really think we can bring these two companies together and move forward with a new name, now Poly.  Poly really meaning many.”
