Out of Place
This is a still from Menschen am Sonntag, a film released in 1930.

People in historical photographs and movies can feel very distant and foreign, but you would
not think twice if you saw this person around town.
84 years and they do not seem out of place or time.

Trains
Witness statusmaps.net which aggregates Amtrak train data, providing
real-time maps,
late train alerts,
historical arrival/departure data,
and these sweet-ass station boards.
Menteed
We maintain a Mentoring wiki page at work. If you want to mentor others, add
your name to the list. If you need a mentor, ping someone on the list.
I sought a mentor through this setup but it didn't really stick. We chatted
and identified some things I should work on, mostly around building
self-improvement into my schedule. But like all those self-improvement projects that
are never a priority, keeping up with a mentor was just one more thing for
the backburner.
I don't really want a mentor right now. I want peers. I want a group of folks
who are struggling and sharing and lifting each other up. I'd like it to be coworkers
but it doesn't have to be. But forming connections is hard.
