Today is Friday, so I will publish an article that has been sitting on my hard disk for some time.
It is about the future of outsourcing, now that our communication technology allows moderately reliable long-distance, high-speed communication worldwide.

And, for the “avatar” part, a posting on Facebook by IEEE, announcing an article to be published in the association’s official magazine, Spectrum, on physical avatars.
