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 grandkids, the lotus, the Fujifilm GFX50S II, finding work and cycling up Marin.

- How Do You Actually Find Work? one Reddit poster asks and gets a textbook answer to start the ball rolling.
- Douglas Zimmerman shot a series of images of Noah Frank Cycling Up the Bay Area's Toughest, Trickiest Climb (or trying to). We don't even like driving up Marin Ave. to Grizzly Peak in Berkeley.
