Candy Incentives

Reado and I are trying to eat healthier... so after we went grocery shopping to make sushi at home, we went to Echo sushi and stuffed our faces full of the stuff.

Making sushi is more fun than I thought!

But before all that we went to T&T Grocery at the bottom of Cherry St here in Toronto. The prices are good, the variety is awesome and the candy aisle is a little like walking through a fucked up Willy Wonka factory. But, we always find a few of our favorites to bring home.

There's no point to this post except for I wanted to share some of our recent Japanese candy purchases. We like cute packaging and chewy treats.

mmm.

Look - chocolate squares filled with sundae flavours. Like strawberry, caramel, fudge and melon? Whatevs. It sounds sick to me, but there's a little kid out East that doesn't speak English that's begging his mum for a melon parfait as we speak. She hands him a square of Look. He looks at her disappointed.
This was the day He learned how to swear.

Hi-Chew - ALL TIME FAVE! Super chewy and super awesome.

The other two - we don't know what they are called but we love them too! The packaging is muay cute! Super Kuwaii!

Now I'm going to go back to writing a review. This was enough fun for me!

PS - Justin and Leor this is why I haven't gotten you the layouts for Karmacake... and a horrible case of writers block. Boo.

FYI, I ♥ Accuracy - Lou Dawg's Southern Sandwiches

I knew something was up when we were asked if we wanted to turn our sandwich into a Po' Boy for $1 extra.

"That means on a baguette, right?"
"Well they all have a baguette."
"So isn't already a Po'Boy?"
"Well a Po'Boy means we put coleslaw on it."
"..."

Besides the grave inaccuracies surrounding what a Po'Boy is or isn't, Lou Dawg's Southern Sandwiches (589 King St West, Toronto, ON) is a decent stop for a bite - minus the fuss. But, contrary to their menu, don't get too excited, they don't have Po'Boys.

In the vein of many Tdot BBQ shops, Lou Dawg's only difference is that the BBQ is available only on a sandwich. While the delivery is different, the taste is the same - slow cooked pork and brisket inspired by Southern BBQ without the Southern soul. It's tasty, don't get me wrong. I did enjoy my sandwich, but that classic Southern sammy with the crusty shell and silken soft crumb, dressed with all the good stuff - was missing.

Don't get me wrong, for what Daryl D'Souza and chef Sean Smith have been able to build, it is the perfect post drinks haunt in the middle of the Douchery Distrik or lunch counter stop over. But true fans of Po'Boys and other Southern sandwiches will be disappointed.

While it isn't smoked, the best stop for slow cooked sandwiches in the city is still, in my opinion, Black Camel. Their brisket sandwich cannot be matched. Alternatively, Reggie's Old Fashioned Sandwiches only a few shops East of Lou Dawg's has a very respectable pulled pork sandwich, on a crusty bun that is MASSIVE. With a drink, it'll cost about $10.

The sides at Lou Dawg's were a little over priced. A $5 large fries is a suitable serving for one. The Yukon Gold potatoes were fluffy, with a good cajun seasoning on them - The fries were pretty damn tasty. But, $5 fries? Yukon Golds are not frying potatoes, they never were and they never will be. Unlike Smoke's Poutinery (Who also use Yukon Golds), Sean Smith has coaxed the maximum amount of fryability out of these bad boys. I just wish there were more in a large serving.

The coleslaw? It wasn't for me. The sauce was slightly curdled - I thought there was tahini sauce in it at first. The addition of dried cranberries and sunflower seeds didn't really add anything to it. It didn't really have any determinable flavour - eh. It won't offend you, if that's the experience you're going for.

All this really confirms, is that, you go to Lou Dawg's for the sammies. Don't go expecting a spot that channels real Southern sandwiches, because that's not what you will find. You will, however, find a clean, relaxed, sandwich bar with a decent product that's marginally pricier then other locals. Of course, you can't have a spot in the Douchery without Sleaman's and Mike's Hard on the menu - no Grey Goose bottle service found here.

I probably won't be seeking out Lou Dawg's again to scratch any cravings. It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow my mind.

Atmosphere = Cool
Price = $30 for two (2 sandwiches, 2 pops, large fries & coleslaw)
Rating = 6 out of 10
Return Visit = Prolly Not.

Tales of a nerd

Getting Karmacake up and running has been definitely been a labour of love; both fun yet painful and hopefully resulting in a beautiful baby that we'll want the entire world to see.


In addition to being the main developer of Karmacake, I'm also going to be writing pieces for the tech areas of the site. I've always loved nerdy computer stuff, from programming, building, hacking and modifying and I'm so pumped to be able to share some of this nerdy love with all of y'all!

So yeah, here's some previews of some articles we're scheming:

• CHEAP-O HDTV antenna


• Battery operated Beer Cooler


• Hackberry - Turning a cell phone into a blackberry (type device)


• Growin' in HYDRO!

But yeah, these are all going to be really easy and really cool hacks that you'll have no troubles pulling off but will definitely give you some bragging rights amongst your friends.

So stay tuned for some sick hacks!

And if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to comment!!

Later!

From Beauty Queen to Booty Queen

My complaints about my personal image are annoyingly redundant. The weight I've gained so honestly over a year of free meals has reached its apex. Secretly, I feel oddly proud that I've split 3 pairs of jeans over the past 3 weeks; it's bordering on fetishism. I'm currently limited to yoga pants, roomy skirts and stuffing myself like a sausage into spanx, spandex and lycra - all to fit into what's remaining in my wardrobe.

The yoga pants are even starting to show signs that they too are giving way to the ever increasing size of my Kardashian sized booty. I refuse to believe that they will split, they are yoga pants, they're made to stretch. Lululemon, don't fail me now!

Karmacake will be launched this summer and when it does, I want to be hot. Who is going to believe a sassy resource of politics, fashion and huzzah from the lap of a couched wheezy breather?

*shudder*

So, I have made the commitment. Beyond the programming, the designing, the socializing, the sourcing, the aligning, the writing and trying to get frigging Adsense to show in Firefox (which is STILL doesn't do Reado!) there's the sexifying.

Only glitch, you've never met a girl who could suck in the gym as hard as I do. It seems impossible, I know, but I couldn't be anymore serious. The scars are still visible from the epic crash I did years ago when training for Miss Universe Canada.

You see, once read that going to the gym first thing in the a.m. is the best time to go - so I went. I was on the elliptical, watching Canada AM, then next thing I know, deliriouF I awoke to the smell of meat and to the sound of latin beats -for a moment I thought it was supper in Puebla.

The reality was that I was cradled in the arms of a sweaty body builder in a Goodlife.

I prefer Pilates and Yoga now. Yoga is my favorite, it's no surprise, I'm an all-star with the Savasana pose, but lying on your back isn't active enough. Although, breathing does burn calories - about 60 an hour - exercise is awesome!

I'll keep you up to date with the progress.

Oh MAN I'm an awesome drawer!!!

Twitter-ese is tway.

I hate fake words people make up on the internet, so when my friend casie re-twitted this, it had me laughing because i HATE those words... so stupid.

With the recent popularity of Twitter, its becoming more and more apparent that people love to convert as many words as possible to what I call, twitter-ese.

Oh, what's twitter-ese you ask? Twitter-ese is the language made up to sound like l33t speak for that computer savy - yet has no clue how to code - hipster demographic that makes up the majority of Twitter. (I, myself, have dual citizenship and am slowly[sic] - involuntarily - turning into a tweep, yet having my degree in computer science making me l33t-ish)

Oh, and how do you speak twitter-ese?

Simply change the first few letters of word with a "tw" and wow, magically you're now accepted by the lovely folks on twitter.

But yeah, use twitter... its a great way to kill a day, but use real words...

twitter-ese is tway

Do You Like My Ponytail?

Dumbfounded by the power of Twitter I cast aside my responsibilities and shook what my mama gave me at Lily Allen with opening act, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head.

HA!

No seriously, for the past month or so, I've really just been dicking around with social media trying to figure out how to best use it to publicize Karmacake. It's definitely a commitment, but it's one that's totally worth the pay off. For reals, yo.

On the surface, Twitter is another lame social media dohicky with questionable entertainment value. Do you follow celebs? Even then, they only follow other celebs - so clearly my POV has no value to anyone of "importance".

Whatev. Celebrities are lame. FYI, Spencer Pratt, just challenged Kutcher to an epic douche-off. If you're curious on what it is that Spencer has to say that will bring in the legions of international followers, check this golden nugget out.

"@perezhilton everything on earth is blessed! God is Love! We should all just love!"

Fuck me. Celebrities are lame. If I was a celebrity, I would be cool. Full stop.

You can follow me on twitter at @karmacakedotca

:)

So yeah, how's anyone supposed to take it seriously? Well, while Twitter has a number of different applications it can be used for. Besides prophesying the good word, challenging Kutcher to popularity contests, challenge CNN to popularity contests and talking about how awesome your life is, Twitter can be used to gather a qualified database of fans, who are actively participating in conversation with you and in turn becoming intimately aware of your product.

Yesterday, I took the plunge and shared my blogspot link. That one link was retweeted (shared) and generated a 77% increase in unique visitors to my site. It was awesome.

So I celebrated with Chinese Buffet at Woo Buffet and Dundas/Yonge, then the Lily Allen Concert at Polson's Pier. I of course, Sara and I tweeted while we were there.

Here are some photos:

Cheese Boutique Has a Party!

This is a late post - sorry, I was going to do it last night, but I went to Lily Allen.

Honestly, there's nothing Karmacake related except for, this was a lot of fun. Since I've been working with Dine.TO, I've had the opportunity to go to a bunch of fun little events taking place in the city.

Cheese Boutique, if you haven't gone, is a mecca for any food enthusiast. While the prices are $$$ the variety is fantastic, but if you go, go for the cheese. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Well this event was the kick off to the Festival of Chefs it goes on throughout May on specific dates. On those days you can expect to see the top chefs in the city do demonstrations. It's a GREAT opportunity for people to get face to face with the people who are normally behind the scenes. I'm jazzed for the AGO's Anne Yarymowich on May 10th, Mildred's Temple Kitchen's Donna Dooher on May 24th and Langdon Hall's Jonathan Gushue on May 31.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would've heard about how embarrassed I was to find out that the proofreader didn't catch me calling Black Hoof, Black Bull. Thankfully, Grant Van Gameren, co-owner and chef at Black Hoof, caught it and left me know. Well, at least I didn't call him Greg, like the Globe and Mail, right? All I could say in response was, "Well at least Toronto Life got it right!"

ha ha. I'm not the best with thinking on my feet.
Getting called out by one of the city's golden boy chefs... well, I guess we all have to start off somewhere.

I ate spit roasted lamb, polenta with truffles, plates of cheese, charcuterie and pickled veg. My cousin came with, Elias is the latest addition to the city's culinary circuit and I can say from experience, this man knows how to cook. Although, at one point in the car, Elias admitted that I'm the best cook.

I can't lie.

It's true.

Here are some photos from Cheese Boutique.




Wow. I thought I took more. Sorry so blurry - camera phone. Any port in a storm... *yawn* Fuck, I want some cheese now. Can't. The Slim Fast will be pissed and then punish my Kardashian sized booty. :(

How to go Green WITHOUT Looking Like a Hippy.

Let's forget for a moment that Creationists are trying to hijack Earth Day for Created Earth Day. Whatevskis that's cool. Clearly raising awareness that the theory of evolution is a lie and mocking pagan religions is by far more important than raising awareness to save the Earth.

We've only got one Earth, let's stop fucking it up so much.

So in the spirit of the day, I'm posting a list of REALLY simple things you can do to reduce your footprint for little to no effort.

#1 Check Your Fridge Temperature. A fridge only needs to be kept at 37-40 degrees, while the freezer can be 0-5 degrees. So either adjust the fridge thermostat, or invest in a thermometer to make sure it's in the optimal range. Saving energy is critical, even if it's only a degree or two. Every little bit HELPS!

#2 Pump it at Night. Pumping your gas after the sun sets will reduce the amount of harmful gasses that are evaporated into our atmosphere. Reducing greenhouse gasses whenever possible is something we all can do. There's a perfect time for everything - even fillin' er up!

#3 Unplug Appliances. All appliances draw energy even when not in use. Unplug your toaster, your computer, your hair dryer, your Glade Plugin, or whatever. It will help save energy, potentially you money and reduces rolling brown outs in the summer.

#4 Soak Your Dishes! Soaking your dishes overnight in some water and soap makes light work of cleaning up.

#5 Florescent, CFL or LED Lighting. CFL's are miniature Florescent bulbs that give off a warmer glow, similar to traditional lightbulbs. Use only LED nightlights, on a timer, if you need one.
It's important to remember, these bulbs are only eco-friend when they are disposed of responsibly! Toronto has various services available here if you live in an apartment, you might want to organize a day for everyone to trash their hazardous waste so the Trash Taxi will cart it away for you. If you don't live in Toronto, check out IKEA, Rona, or Home Depot - they often have drop off areas.

#6 Bottle that Tank! Put a bottle in your toilet tank. This will help reduce the amount of water you consume.

#7 Reduce Junk Mail. Useless trash that ends up going to landfill. Lame. Join the DO NOT MAIL list - remember it is only valid for 5 years. Put a sign up that says "NO JUNKMAIL" on your mailbox or mail slot. If that doesn't work, check out the RedDotCampaign for more handy tips on reducing pointless landfill.

#8 Find an Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaner. Dry Cleaning is expensive, so what's the diff if you go to an eco-friendly spot vs. a non-eco friendly spot? Well, you're making a decision to have less harm on the environment. If you need a list, check out this link at GreenLiving.com

#9 Go Solar! Spend the money and get a mini solar panel or wind turbine. There's a great product called Hymini and I want the delux kit so bad! The power generated can recharge your iPod, phone, mp3 player or camera, it can mount on your bike. So you can unplug something out of the wall and extra power off the grid. That incredible. You can get started as cheap as $9 for a handcranked charger, or $79 for the entire kit. AND, I can take it camping? DOPE!

#10 Use AirMiles. 70% of Canadians have an AirMiles card. So AirMiles have come up with the MyPlanet program aims to inspire and enable AIR MILES^® Collectors to make more environmentally sustainable choices, everyday.

#11 Make Your Own Laundry Detergent. It's not rocketscience. You can buy the ingredients from your grocery store and combine them to create an effective laundry detergent without harmful toxins, or cancer causing carcinogens. Planet Green has the deets here.

So now you have 11 tips and tricks to be able to consider a more eco-friendly lifestyle, with little effort. It makes you wonder why you weren't greening it up sooner, huh? It saves cash, saves the environment and it saves your health - kind of makes you feel silly for ever thinking it wasn't possible. Right?

Also, don't forget about Greentuity this week. Shop. Eat. Entertain your way to a greener Toronto.

The Circuit

I am so long overdue on blogging, it's a bit painful. Truthfully, how do I EVER expect anyone to follow me or get jazzed for Karmacake when I can't even get content up daily.

Well, from here on in, that's about to change! Your Mama KC is back so all my little poodles and possums, prepare yourselves, because the journey is only half of the fun! Which is hard to believe because Reado and I have been having a great time, getting out there, meeting new people and supporting new things in the city.

Last Thursday (*shudder* so late in ) Reado and I went to check out Patrick Wiese's new catering company, Kindred Spirits. It launched at This is London and was packed! Food stations were everywhere and people were namming on Lobster Martinis and Tuna Tartar. And, while the servers weren't coming to me directly with plates of Fois Gras Monte Cristos, I am an adept food sniper. Working 5 years in fundraising teaches a girl to sniff out food without shame or grace.

Oh yeah, and who is Patrick Wiese? He happens to be Oprah's former personal chef... OPRAH'S PERSONAL CHEF! Clearly that's one cool job!

From This is London, Reado and I popped into Pistachio at Yonge & Eglinton to see what was happening with Greentuity. Greentuity is the newest non-invasive eco-event to surface in the city. It works pretty simply, everytime you make a purchase at a Greentuity supporting venue, you have the choice to make a tip, of $1 or greater, to support Toronto Green Community.

TGC is responsible for community gardens, Autoshare and that windmill at the EX - so they are a very effective Green organization that runs efficiently through volunteer efforts.

The event had speeches, wine, cheese and darling cupcakes frosted with green tops that I had to try! They were delicious.

While we were there, we ran into ChickAdvisor's Ali & Alex DeBold. It's always nice to see them, Ali and I got to know each other when we worked on Twenty Something TV and I've always admired how charming she is. Truthfully, that woman has success written all over her! Not only did she and Alex hit the jackpot with one heck of a brillz website they are a lovely couple to boot. Anyway, we vowed to rock out over cocktails with Jill & Stace from our Twenty Something TV days and catch up.

Keeping in touch with friends is hard. Thankfully, many of my friends are all in the biz too which means we have many wonderful accidental run ins.

What's next? Oh geez, I have so many posts to do!!

A Million Lame Free Story Ideas

Easter long weekend is over. Monday is here. I want to do the exact opposite to work. Another month until the next long weekend.

Lame.

Trust me, working from home isn't all that it's cracked up to be. There's a vehicle outside my window that's been backing up for the past hour and some indescribable odor from my neighbor's apartment has made it's way into my unit. *sigh*

Regardless, I'm trying to make an effort to pen a long list of story ideas. It looks as though Pfaffer scored a dope 1-on-1 with Ash from USS last night - which I'm excited about. So that, coupled with this 10 days addicted to WoW, should make for some awesome pieces from Pfaff.

Meanwhile, I'm going to be heading to the Moosehead Breweries party on the 21st for their new slow brewed beer. And on Thursday, April 16th I'm going to check out the Kindred Spirits Catering event featuring Patrick Wiese. Obviously, those I'll have to talk about in advance of Karmacake's real launch, but they'll go up on the blogspot/tumblr accounts.

I've gotten about 8 story ideas penned in total. 5 of which have "Lame" in the title... Apparently, I think a lot of things are lame. Which I won't lie - it's true!

There are 3 how-tos, two challenges and one Eco-swap. I'm on a big, "You can make/build it yourself" kick these days. I think it's important to be the master of your surroundings and I think consumerism has really programmed us to think otherwise. Trust me, I love a side of consumerism on a sunny morning, but I think these days, we have to be more in control. We have options. That includes fashion, beauty, food and electronics.

Reado and my most famous builds includes an $8 HDTV Atenna we built with a few coat hangers and a wooden dowel. But my favorite was our hydroponic tomato garden... or was it the micro, battery powered air conditioner? Trust me, you'll love what you'll be able to do.

Now I'm going to go put together my playlist for good times in the gym. Which is another great story idea, "Soundtracks to Make Life Suck Less"

Listen, it's my publication, I can put whatever the f*ck I want in it.

Finally! - Getting AdSense working properly with Blogspot

Since the beautiful KarmaCake has now changed the template for the karmacake blog, it was time that Google AdSense was utilized as a means to generate some income.

Being that I'm the nerdier of the two of us, it was my responsibility to get this bitch into action.

Luckily after a bit of tweaking and a few bad words, AdSense is showing up nicely both in our blog post sections and our side bar

There are a ton of tutorials on Blogger / AdSense on how to get yourself an AdSense account and getting it associated with your Blogger account. Simply click on the Monetize tab in your Blogger dashboard and you can find all the information you need.

To get ads to appear in both your blog post section and the sidebar of your template (if it supports it), simply go into the Layout section of your dashboard and add the AdSense gadget to your widget area. From there you can select which type of ad to show, how it should be styled, etc. This will allow you to add ads to the sidebar component of your template.

To get ads to appear between posts, simply go into Layout --> Page Elements --> Blog Posts --> Edit and you are presented with a window allowing you to select if you want ads to appear, what they should look like and how frequently they should appear.

I ran into a MAJOR bit of annoyance when trying to set this up because I forgot that Google only allows you to have 3 ads on a page at any given time.

Previously, my settings were configured to display 5 posts a page, with ads appearing every 2 posts. This meant that I had 3 post ads showing up but my sidebar ads weren't! By simply changing the post ad frequency to every 3 posts, I now have 2 post ads, and 1 sidebar ad.

Anyway, problems are solved.

Next step is to tweak it to actually show relevant content!

Stay tuned!

Fight Club

I'm sure this is going to be the first of many. It's really hard to work on a project without some personality clashes along the way. I probably was to blame, I was pitching some marketing ideas to pre-market the blogspot before we launch the main site and I didn't feel like Reado was getting it.

Listen, if you're going to work with anyone, especially if you partner with your SiggO, then you really need to accept that there will be highs but you have got to go through a million lows.

Once the dust settled I went back to explain why we really need to think of marketing simultaneously. I'm sure Reado just heard another TODO added to the thousands on the pile. Working full time, coming home for a delish home cooked meal, then hunkering down at the dining room table to program Karmacake isn't everyone's idea of a good time.

But, then nothing comes easy in life. Even reaching for the dream sucks at the get go.

At least the dinners taste good!

Essentially, We're Going Social.

Obviously, if we're going to have any successful go of making a name for ourselves at Karmacake online, we're going to have to get social. Online and offline.

Last Thursday, Reado and I decided to meet our friend Casie Stewart at the GenYTO meet up at Andy Poolhall. A little tired, a little sick and a little overwhelmed by a clearly connected group of strangers, Matt and I just hung back and observed. The event appears to be a good one to get started on if you're looking to network. Although, be aware, even though it is free to participate in the majority of people clearly already know each other. Unlike other networking events, like FastLane, you won't have people approach you.

Newbies gotta suck it up and jump in.

I wasn't in the mood to beg for attention, but I was in the mood for vodka sodas and streetmeat! Thank goodness, College and Bathurst has the finest of street eats to satisfy my hunger! However, I have EVERY intention of hitting up next month's GenYTO and pimping it like it's hot. So feel free to introduce, chances are Reado and I will be the tallest ones there.

Coincidentally, Casie pissed off Andy Poolhall by stickering the place with her URL. I still have my Casie Stewart sticker because it was terribly adorable.

Note: Stickers are super cool until they piss off management. shame.

Online, I'm trying to figure out Twitter. I have 170 followers, but I haven't figured out how to post so people like me. I think I'm a bit Nit Twit since I have yet to get a shout out on a #followfriday.

*sigh*

I'm as popular as I was at GenYTO! I blame my lack of understanding for Twitter etiquette and jargon. Apparently, Twitter has it's own language, like Twitter Babes are Twabes and Twitter People are Tweeps. I feel pretty Twame, bustin' out the Twitterese like I'm a 50 year old trying to connect with my Tween (coincidentally, not a Twitter term).

"Hey, Sally. Let's go surf down to the Facebook and blast a poke to your big bro at Uni before we go cruising for fashion and Orange Julius' at the mall. Yeah! Mother/Daughter time roolz!"

Ugh.

Besides sounding like a total ass (Twass), I'm digging the service more than Reado is. I get my daily headlines from all my favorite magazines and newspapers, not to mention status updates from my bff's and the folks I wish were my friends (you're probably included in that list.)

Coincidentally, I believe the majority of GenYTO-ers are all on Twitter, it's kind of a necessary utility these days if you want to do anything online.

If you want to add me up, feel free! I'm at @karmacakedotca and reado is at @reado
If you do go through with the decision to add me up, you will get a daily assortment of awesome posts on how I slept with my make up on, the pains of editing and an unusual number of posts on my personal alcohol consumption and Fair Trade coffee... Apparently, I'm both a social alcoholic and a militant human rights activist.

Honestly, my posts are fucking hilarious. And you should add me up because you'll love it.

Later Twarmacakes!

The New Karmacake Blogspot

I just got sick of the old template so I uploaded this one and I feel much more happy about it.

Now Karmacake will be a blogspot where my writers and I can document the creation process as we work towards launching the true Karmacake. Who knows when the real site will get up, I just decided I wasn't down with the previous designs and logos.

Sometimes you have got to start fresh!

So when you come to the blogspot, you'll probably see us airing a lot of dirty laundry. I mean, we don't really know the mess we're getting ourselves into trying to launch, yet another, web start up. We're just banking that our brand of awesome can carry us through. I just figure that since so many of us are trying to do similar things, it might be interesting to see another P.O.V. - the dirty act of making money off of creating something special online.

Obvs. you can follow me on Twitter here peculiarily enough, someone already registered plain ol' Karmacake. Which totally sucks. When I started using Karmacake I was the one and only, now it's everywhere. So it's a race to register the nickname on everything before the Fake-a-cakes ruin the party for me.

Anyway, I've got to turn back to Dine.TO, lots of editing to do there. Here's the Dishes, Best of TO flyer copy and calling the owners of a new Indian restaurant chain that is launching on Monday.

This evening, I'm going to convince @reado to accompany me to the One of a Kind sale so I can go and check out Domistyle's booth. I wouldn't be going if Jess at Domistyle didn't so graciously give me two tickets to go - You know being poor and all...

But, we're going to go, check things out and hopefully source out some cool products to feature on Karmacake 2.0.
