The Rocky ran a story about the Geek Gorgeous 2005 calandar, a collection of pictures featuring geeky hot Colorado women. What drew me to the story, besides the fact that it's on the paper's front page, is that the woman features is a gamer too.

The tiny text in the picture reads, in part:

Lilac, who started working as a programmer at age 16, is now a senior software engineer with an acronym-rich skill-set that includes Java, J2EE, EJB, JSP, JMS, PHP, ASP, ADO, SQL, XML, UML, J2ME, MIDP and more. As an independent consultant, Lilac has worked on numerous business applications on various platforms, from home-automation systems to portfolio optimizers based on genetic algorithms.

Lilac also owns three video-game stores in Colorado.

Three? I wish they'd say where, because I didn't know there were any locally owned game store in the state that were bigger than a ma and pa joint.

I love the juxtstaposition of the NES lightgun in her hand and the PS3 display behind her.

The calendar would make a great gamer gift and the proceeds go to a scholarship for girls interested in studying computer science. Nice.
