Automated teller machines have been a part of our world so long we’ve all but forgotten that this is what ATM stands for. Still, to everything there is a season, and the season for ATMs is passing.

According to the Smithsonian Institution and everyone else that tracks such things, the usage of the little cash kiosks is on the wane. That is the reason why Bank of Hawaii is taking its machines out of McDonald’s restaurants — people aren’t into them as much anymore.

It’s another aspect of our digital revolution. Who knew “going paperless” meant giving up greenbacks, too?

Hawaii gets maps with its data

It’s not as familiar as Google Maps, but for data geeks, the state’s geoportal mapping website is definitely worth a visit.

The site takes large data sets and translates them into maps. You can find out all kinds of things, like the names and locations of ahupua‘a on each island. Monthly rainfall for certain times of the year. Who owns large parcels of land on Molokai. And much more. It’s public data made more interesting.
