1. Where did your LJ handle come from?
The name comes from a Robert Heinlein character in Magic Inc. A character in the story had a mythical Uncle Stonebender who could always do anything better, faster, with more style, than anyone else. It's also the last name of a main character in Spider Robinson's Callahan's short stories. Spider probably got the last name from the same Heinlein story. I started using the name back in college while playing Dungeons and Dragons. Any time I rolled character with 18 strength, I'd name him Stonebender. Eventually he became sort of an alter ego of mine. Since I'm so *not* a Stonebender, I enjoy the dissonance.
