Pandorax Technology Group logo

A new logo I designed for a small technology firm here in Chicago. I took the idea of Pandora’s Box (which is where Pandorax comes from) and went from there.
The previous logo was hideous, consisting of Arial Bold type, and a circle and a line. My, how creative.

Its time to put some chlorine in the gene pool

I saw this story in the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday that made my blood boil. Apparently this guy stole a puppy from it’s backyard, called the owners and demanded $10,000 ransom, and when they either didn’t pay or didn’t pay on time, he took the puppy out to a cage and threw him in with a pit bull and Chesepeake Bay retriever. The puppy was attacked and killed by the dogs.

So, this scumbag made a plea bargain with the prosecution, and pleaded guilty, thinking he was only going to have to do probation. The judge decided otherwise, setting aside the plea deal and give him 15 months in prison and pay restitution. Though, seriously not enough, at least it’s something. Personally, I’d like to take this guy and throw him into a cage and feed him to, say, a pitbull and a lion and maybe even a puma. Let him feel the terror that the puppy felt in its final moments.
