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 dancing at home, fashion industry slavery, JPEGs, old cameras, Fujifilm G lenses and "that guy."

- Hogan also suggest you Look Behind to Look Ahead when buying a new camera. What's that mean? He asks whether a five-year-old camera is still viable today? Yes. What about a 10-year-old camera. Yes.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
