I usually go by Cinder Phame, but that name is a little to fantasy orientated to work at a tech site. I thought I’d go by Cinder but that was taken, so I added an s and away I went. I also go by Texas, Texas Ranger or Tejas. Yes, I do live in Texas real close to Houston.
I was creating a Dungeons & Dragons character about twenty years ago, and I needed a name, so I came up with Sender Phame, but a few friends threatened to rip out my liver unless I changed the name to Cinder. Seeing the error of my ways I quickly changed the name and have been Cinder ever since.
