Do you deserve a Carlsberg?

Recently I was introduced to a new promotion going on from Carlsberg. I wasn’t expecting much but it turns out its actually pretty interesting so I thought I’d share it with you. Salt & Pepper (a local media company) worked on it and it seems quite well done – the premise is that by going to ideserveone.ca and logging in to Facebook you can enter their summer-long contest for Carlsberg prize...

About Me

Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.

Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.

If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.
