Steve Jobs Died for our sins.
Okay, so this one guy died, right? And suddenly the world has completely lost it's shit! Steve Jobs was a great marketing guy and seems like maybe not the nicest guy. But I'm sorry if I don't want to mourn someone who I feel had a net negative impact on the world. Apparently there's enough mourning to go round, anyway.
Without getting too into it, because you can see all kinds of hate posts that have better information than I do, this man was the head of a company that completely fucked the digital economy, very possibly forever, and more importantly, passed over a golden opportunity to help shenzhen not be such a shitty place to eke out your existence until you crack the shits and jump out a window to be caught by a net installed specifically to catch you because it's such a shitty place to live.
I just think that it's important that we remember people when they die as they were and not some idealised version. Although I guess the idealisation started before he died.

Traffic
This evening after work it took me longer to get home by vehicle than it would have had I walked.
World, this is unacceptable. Using public transport that takes basically the most direct route between my house and my work, I was trapped in a hell of my own devising. Car people, have you tried: learning alternative routes? I promise they exist. They might even get you to your location faster and break the monotony of your pitiful life.

Umbrella Stupidity
So, the day is wet. You have your umbrella. It's cold and windy and generally a miserable day. However, at this moment in time it is no longer raining. Is your umbrella still up? Are you taking up far more room on the footpath than your really should be? Are you almost poking people in the eye because you're in your own little world?
Then you have just made me rage. Are you so insanely oblivious to the world that you don't realise when you need protection and when you don't? Or is it that you're too afraid of the individual droplets that barely qualify as rain?
Either way, I hate you.

The Inaugural Rage
Hi there and welcome to The Capn's Daily Rage. The entire idea of this blog is for me to inform you, dear reader, of what is giving me the shits in a somewhat amusing manner. Hopefully I can do a small yet fun update every single day, giving you a reason to come back many, many times.
Can I do this? Is this a realistic goal?
I don't know.
In the short term, absolutely not, I have university things due in the upcoming weeks, but I intend to update at least a few times during that period. After that, it's free range rage.
Now for the first rage.
People who start blogs and then never post in them, taking up that name for all eternity. DailyRage and TheDailyRage, my first two options for the URL have been taken for 6 and 5 years respectively without posting a single fucking thing.
I'm not sure if you're better or worse than people who start retarded blogs that no one cares about, or could care about, and continue to update them incessantly, ignoring the fact that the rest of the internet is quietly wishing death upon them.
