Geek Girl Appreciation Thread...

[JoeWoah]

Since the Mac user style thread devolved into a Mac Girl thread (my bad).

I thought we could have a hot geek/smart girl appreciation thread.

There are quite a few out there, so lets try to keep it to real geek girls if we can!

More Jade Raymond: Born in 1974 (!) she graduated from McGill University with a Bachelors of Science in computer science. She started her career as a programmer developing educational games for IBM and consulting in Microsoft’s Advanced Research Group. Her first job in the video game industry was programming games for Sony. A few years later, she moved into a producer role at EA, and she has since been producing games. Raymond was the producer of the popular The Sims Online video game, but most recently, she was the lead producer of Ubisoft Montreal's action-adventure game Assassin's Creed.

She's host of G4's program The Electric Playground.

She also has a degree in fine arts.[3]

She is a member of the Quebec board of directors of LOVE, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing youth violence in Canada.

The answer is he's the dude in the green shirt with the orange thing on it, in the back, slightly out of focus, well behind Raymond.

Games of that size have more than one. She was the producer after all, their boss. The prettiness is the icing. They're keeping the man down in tech these days .

Here is the Creative Director with her:

Obv. I'm talking about the creative director, Patrice Desilets. The producer may be the team's boss, but he/she is not who makes the game. When else is the producer recognized more than the director or designer, save for when it's Shigeru Miyamoto? If it was some dude that produced that (crummy) game, you would have never heard of him. It was pure publicity.

Jade Raymond is a cutie (yeah, glad dusty nerded out so I didn't have to), but I was hoping this thread would have more bookish-looking librarian chicks.
