I'll be musing on the "shoulder we need to burden" especially. There are powerful metaphoric possibilities here. Great commentary, Martha.

Of course we all care. Hey, I'm all about the caring! That said, I think it's great that Brian was so open about the degree to which he worries about these issues. it can be hard to admit these frustrations, but I think when we do it makes the conversation more meaningful.

We all should care as deeply about the successes and frustrations that our faculty encounter as they set sail on the technology seas." Who says we don't?
