In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at intimacy, Berlin, Memphis, Vancouver, backup, mistakes and Hold Still.

- And British photographer Alexander Fleming has photographed The Stillness of Isolation in Vancouver.
