Inclusive design teaches us about alternate input modalities, and loves to use "holding a newborn with one hand" as an example, but I think there is also room for "your needy dog thinks using the trackpad is petting the laptop and gets jealous."

My book turns 4 in October and I was originally thinking of making it $4 but at least for the print on demand version, I have to at a minimum make it the cost of printing. What sounds good to folks? $10.04 (October 4, the original publish date), 40% off, or some cool, secret third option?

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever gotten to experience. I’m so proud of the Curaçao mens national football team. You truly made our island so proud. Phew, the way I sobbed through the national anthem.
Curaçao and Germany’s giant flags (a third of the pitch each) are rolled out before the start of their World Cup matchup. This is Curaçao’s first ever appearance at the World Cup, becoming the smallest country to do so.

There won’t be millions of people from Curaçao cheering on their national team in the World Cup, because Curaçao doesn’t have millions of people. Not even close.

The Blue Wave from tiny Curaçao is making World Cup history
Curaçao has already crafted a story like none other in World Cup history. The tiny autonomous territory of about 156,000 residents is now the smallest, both in terms of population and land mass, to make it to soccer’s biggest stage.

I’ve always loved our @netlify.com launches and after 7+ years as a user and 4 years on the team, this might be my favorite yet: we’re officially removing seat-based pricing. And that includes Git contributors! With 5 meters, you only pay for what you actually use. Go team (in more ways than one 😁)!
