Oh Internet. I’m just recording this one for Portland posterity. Because, man, did that escalate quickly. For those of you who missed the play by play. Cabel Sasser—cofounder of Portland-based Panic, purveyor of fine Mac software among other things—got himself in a bit of of a pickle yesterday. Or maybe more appropriately, some pea laden guacamole.
It all started when—in response to interwebs firestorm about The New York Times article suggesting we add peas to guacamole—Cabel tweeted out this photo.
Welp. That was fast. pic.twitter.com/SM4CVgpir1

But no sooner had the fun begun than the intrepid reporting team at the Huffington Post managed to reveal the ruse as a hoax. Thank you, Fourth Estate. Thank you.
The Huffington Post has busted me. I will be stepping down from my role at prank to spend more time with my family http://t.co/3uXnCCM215

Well, if anything is to be gained of this, it’s the Photoshop file that Cabel used to create the image. Which, for better or worse, is now open source.
In the interest of full disclosure, here's my Photoshop .PSD. https://t.co/5mF4S9BCu0 May it serve you well somehow pic.twitter.com/hPOHi6vm7t

Until the next time Cabel causes trouble on the Internet, peas out.
