Any time Cabel Sasser wants to go down a rabbit hole, I am here for it. (If you don’t follow his blog, you should. It’s an amazing collection of times he documents completely nerding out on a topic.) And like so many other rabbit holes he’s fallen down, this one on the forged Apple employee badge absolutely does not disappoint.
At first, it looked good. The plastic was scuffed with age, the tape on the map was yellowed, the logo was (mostly) correct, and Sherry Livingston really was Employee #10.
But it also felt a little off. The scuffing looked… sandpapery. The splotches on the map felt overcooked. And I couldn’t stop looking at the “typewritten” part…
Do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes with this one.
