Hey everyone,
I just gave a Pixel Bender presentation at our local Adobe User Group yesterday. Here's a roundup of the blog posts I wrote as I was collecting my thoughts:
First I wrote about the problems I wanted to solve, and why Pixel Bender seemed like the right choice:

Next, an overview and intro of Pixel Bender:
