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 Ken Karagozian, zooming, home projects, more strange things, the Huion Kamvas Pro 13 and a Nikon Z 8 service advisory.

- In Close to Home, Dave Williams suggests five personal photography projects you can do at home. "Get stuck into some personal projects over the summer and push your creativity," he writes. "You'll have fun and your skill will broaden -- trust me."
- Thom Hogan returns from a break with more Strange Things Written on the Internet. This edition's subjects include autofocus speed, film simulation and color science.
- Jason Row reviews the $399 Huion Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) graphics tablet with built-in display. "The pen is responsive with plenty of subtlety in its sensitivity," he reports. "There are no issues with your hands touching the screen when drawing, even without using the included glove."
- Nikon has issued a Technical Service Advisory for Users of the Nikon Z 8 Cameras to address an issue where "a lens cannot be mounted on the camera because the lens cannot be rotated to the locked position."
