I love this app… working out is hard work! So, I'm for anything you can do to make it more fun = B.iCycle app. Not only does this iPhone app tell you how fast you were going, how many feet you climbed and of course the all important how many calories you burned, it also provides you with code that Google Earth uses to create a visual map of your path.

Today I discovered a cool Google Earth feature that plots out the elevation of your trip… how cool is that? If it weren't 90 degrees and I weren't so out of shape, I'd be out there creating more data with the B.iCycle app.

2009 will go down in the record books for many things – bank failures included. During the year 140 banks failed setting a record since the 1930s. It appears that the record number of bank failures was recorded in 1989 at 531 bank failures.

Eighteen states made it through the year without a single bank failure. These states include:

Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and West Virginia.

With the help of Google docs – here’s a visualization of bank failures by state since 2000

The following Google tool helps to show the dramatic increase. You may want to play around with the settings to get the full impact.

There are a number of apps in the itunes store for tracking miles while riding your bike, but I choose B.icycle. Dispite its funny name and sometimes akward interface, I’d say I’m a fan.  I especially love the option to e-mail yourself the results after the trip (see below.) There’s also a link to interface with google earth so you could relive that infamous ride around the block.

After many an error message, I’ve finally got a working chart representing bank failures in the United States, by state, by year through September 4, 2009 (if it loads it is pretty dramatic).

The Google Visualization tool sometimes takes awhile to load.

Ohio's Oldest Pharmacy

Between a bakery and a bank, this sign marks the spot of Ohio’s oldest pharmacy in Hillsboro, Ohio. The location is now an antique offering advertising signs and pharmacy collectibles. Looking through the windows, it looks like the last pharmacist just turned off the lights back in 1964 leaving more then 100 years of store in place.

Google street views are not available for Hillsboro to confirm, but this should be the correct information about the store.
