an observation

I'm working on a little project for my daughter and I wanted to find some geek girl clip art. Finding geek themed clip art is hard enough. However, I just can't seem to find any geek clip art featuring girls.

Weird, huh?

UPDATE: I've been able to find the following....

This generic clip art.

I searched using the term "computer girl" and "geek girl". I think you were looking for computer related girls? Geek has so many meanings. Oh, your name is G33K.

I think it must be a regional thing? We don't refer to computer professionals as "geeks". I'm not sure if the meaning of geek is universal. I see it used mostly in blogs. It may be a generation thing too? I'm an older software developer. We used to use the outdated term "guru" that may be close in current definition and now no term that I can think of.

Anyway, you got me curious so I searched for computer girl and found lots.

I'm a bOy, a major powerUser and I think "geek" is the exact word that I would use to describe my skills. :)

actually, I prefer übergeek.
