When I last posted about techPresident the comments on presidential cadidates having MySpace pages were mostly negative. Well it seems that some bright soul in the McCain camp decided to use (without crediting) a template created by Newsvine. On top of that they pulled images without permission eating up bandwidth which called for geeky revenge.

For those of you who despise FakeSpace pages of famous people who have college interns maintaining them, you’ll get a kick out of this. Who knew he liked lesbians?

We did the review of our very first dirty/offensive French word of the week last week. The dirty French word of the week has been a brilliant idea (thanks Jenny for the idea)! Well one area I’ve neglected to focus on is pronunciation, so what better time than now?

Read on for merde the pronunciation.

December 8, 2006 – Bratislava, Slovakia

Cheap (until sometime in 2007) and an different look at Europe, Bratislava was highly acclaimed by the student who sent us this picture. There is also a write-up (use the search on Deniz’s blog, aop1980.com/deniz).
November 1, 2006 – Nice, France

Taken on Peaceluvbug’s academic travel.
August 28, 2006 – Valle Versazca, Switzerland

Peaceluvbug’s adventures and education in the beautiful surroundings of Switzerland begin the fall semester off right.

August 8, 2006 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The beautiful beaches in Brazil, taken during the middle of South American spring. Good food and good times, it was the right location for E-Dubs’ first trip outside of North America.

July 27, 2006 – Seattle, USA

This is our first, official “top.” Taken by one of our editors, aop1980, in Seattle, Washington (in the States), it seemed appropriate. Seattle, my favorite city state-side has a small town feel, people are friendly, and if you love art and music, it’s a place you need to see. What to hang out and meet some people? Head over to one of the many coffee shops in Seattle. There are about 4 per street corner, and everyone will chat you up about their beloved city.
