 ===About Me===
-I'm a professional software developer and amateur musician living in Madison, Wisconsin.
+I'm a software developer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My history includes a lot of product work related to TV broadcast. These included graphic arts and video editing applications that ran on specialized hardware. These days I'm interested in 'modern' javascript coding and exploring fun things that can be done in a browser. I'm also a hobbyist musician and arranger.

-*[[blendr|bl?endR]] - an image manipulator for bending and blending images. Appears similar to Photoshops's liquify filter, but written in javascript and built with [https://reactjs.org ReactJS] and [https://webpack.js.org/ Webpack]. The techniques for image keying (masking) and distortion were developed as part of video production system.

It's written in javascript and built with [https://reactjs.org ReactJS] and [https://webpack.js.org/ Webpack]. I wanted to explore the potential of integrating an application into a CMS without framing, and this demonstrates the power of bundling with webpack. A single script tag is all that's needed, and since the application is loaded into the DOM the styling matches the container page.
