Sony's Scholarship for Girl Game Developers
Nice news for young women looking to break into the video game industry:
The SOE G.I.R.L (Gamers in Real Life) Scholarship is a progressive new scholarship program designed to educate and recruit more women into the video game industry. The goal of the G.I.R.L Scholarship is to give a student a unique opportunity-to get their foot in the door with a paid internship at one of the SOE studios, plus $10,000 towards tuition at The Art Institutes.

Jade Raymond
Just for the record, I am thoroughly disgusted over the Jade Raymond incident. This excellent post from Feministe unpacks the whole saga. I was going to say more, but what is there to say that I haven't said in some form before?
