Friends in Boxes

If you have an android phone, here are my recommendations for apps you should try.  All are free unless otherwise noted: AppBrain - You need this one.  It allows you to browse software on your desktop, then schedule it for install on your Android device.  Much easier to look through the huge numbers of apps that way, and much easier to filter. Amazon App Store - Another you must have.  At least for the time being, Amazon is giving away a paid app every day.  Get in while the gettin's good.   Tweetdeck - best Twitter app I've found.  If you're wondering why you'd want to have a Twittter app, just sign up for @breakingNews and you'll know every piece of news before your friends/co-workers/Drudge.  This is also available for your desktop . GasBuddy - Because finding the gas station that isn't screwing you is getting more and more valuable. Mileage - If you keep track of your MPG, this app makes it easy and provides great statistics automatically. Waze -

I inquired as to how much it would cost to do this from a granite installer, and the price was in the $100's.  Wow... Then I found Granite Grabbers .   The idea was simple enough.  An epoxy glue strip attached to a metal plate with the screw
