This was an interesting chapter because it consisted almost entirely of a guided tour of one of VJ's patches and not much in the way of person patching. That's fine, though, because it was a complicated piece and the principles have/will come in handy in other work.

I find it especially interesting that the patch he develops can be used to gather times feedback on videos. If you recall, my day job is as a psychology professor and I have extensive training in experimental research methods. As such, this falls right in line with some of the things that I or my students could do. In that very practical sense, this was a very useful chapter.
