The New JohnBollwitt.com

Comments 2 by Rebecca Bollwitt

My husband has a great blog that he’s maintained since the fall of 2004. For his last birthday I took a bold step and registered his name as a domain.

I realize that most of the tips and tricks I include in this new series (categorized under: iPhone) will be useful to both men AND women but they’ll certainly have my own spin. Here’s a current list of apps I’ve installed using Installer that have made life easier (remember, I’ve only had the thing for […]
