WOw... after reading that post from katie regarding what was happing in her life... Were those problems created by people's comments on this site? If so, we all have serious problems. I agree, parhaps her blog was light on tech details.. but hey... guess what people... not everyone is a programmer or a IT guy. Not everyone needs the details on the inner workings of the processur of the dammed thing, or how to tweak start up configuration files, using your favorite HEX editor.
I hope Katie, that things get better... and from someone who has had a bout or two with anxietiy and depression... hang in there... life does get better!

Believe it or not, not everyone likes the same music - why include a genre in a personal playlist if you don't actually like the genre? I demerit (WTF?) your post for mentioning "country"...
There are plenty of user reviews of the technical in-and-outs of the iPhone in thar interwebs - Katie's blog was of the iPhone in normal day-to-day usage, and I like others, found it refreshing...
Just my pound sterling.

But let's not quibble over diction. The blog was an experiment. Some people "got it" and others didn't. arn's idea was to have something that wasn't all tech; something more irreverent, flippant, and personal.
And if it helps any, I finally went to the dollar store and bought a purse-sized flashlight.
Katie?
"Shun the non-believers! Shuuuuunnnn! Shuuuunnnn!"
Seriously though, I think most people know that blogs can be technical or personal. I mean, it's not like there are blogging communities like Xanga, LiveJournal, Blogger or anything else to dispel such a notion. Oh wait...
Those suckers are damned hard. Owwie.

You go girl! I used to carry a MagLite keychain flashlight. I had to stop because I kept hurting myself w/ it.And if it helps any, I finally went to the dollar store and bought a purse-sized flashlight.
Those suckers are damned hard. Owwie.I have to agree with you. It's eclectic in a sense, but i feel like if you find a diehard Electric Six fan, they'll tell you they love Elton John, and so on, you can make connections to each artist on the mix. I know Katie has voiced her dislike for hip hop in a previous post so you won't find any Notorious BIG on this list. I think we have to remember though, this is her personal choice. I can't knock what she personally likes to hear. I was moreso responding to the claims that her list was very eclectic. Kid Sister to California Lightening to T-Model Ford to Boris is eclectic in my opinion.

(for a moment, I thought there was a MR member named "Wikipedia"
)I feel like those that have been critical of the situation have been unfair. It may have been born out of the slight measure of jealousy concerning you recieving the iPhone to carry out this blog. When that detail was exposed, you were held to a pretty lofty standard of delivering posts like a Professional Blogger. But I feel like people should've dialed down the criticism and really took your accounts for what they were, a personal diary of your iPhone experience.
I wish you the best.
Also noticed the lack of blogging and then started thinking that I hadn't seen your posts lately in the forums... Never got around to ask.
I really hope you get better soon Katie.
It strikes me every time that something like this happens, that the people who are being mean online, always defends themselves by "that's my opinion", "it didn't reach my expectations" and so forth.. But it really doesn't matter. What matters is that everyones just a human being. It doesn't matter what one thinks, if it really hurts someone else to say it - don't freaking say it.

nice playlist, and a great way to officially sign off the blog.
I picked up a few of these songs just now. Good stuff.
Sorry to see you go. The forums around here just seem to be getting meaner and meaner...
(And Ben Folds is the greatest, so your "demerits" are automatically remerited. Haha.)

What happened to Katie? We haven't seen an update to "Katie says" in a very long time. What is she using her phone for lately?
I think that said it all -- about Katie's blog, this particular issue, and MR as a whole.
