   It’s a good thing I have that Swiss Army knife with a flash drive.

   Jim, you’re out of your goddamn mind.

   I love it.

   Hello, Jim,

   In the next episode, I want to see Blackboard manuals all run through and mounted on stakes…

   Great stuff — just don’t go all Mel on us and get pulled over in Malibu

   Cheers,

   Bill

   Great video!

   But how to survive when the Web 2.0 companies crash? Its not an unlikely scenario even if I share your opinion.

   Ah, Jim, brilliant, just brilliant. Now you have to leave the army altogether and join us renegades on the outside of them there barbed-wire-topped walls.

   @Joe and Mikhail:
   I want you two with me went it all goes down, so get your travel bags, we’re going into the woods!

   @Bill:
   It is for that very reason that I went easy on the Mel, but damn if he isn;t my hero in Mad max and The Road Warrior. I mean that metal brace on his leg rules, doesn’t it?

   @Christian:
   You’re right, there’s a lot of tongue and cheek in this one, and actually it is a part of a larger presentation. I guess if it all goes to hell, Flickr and YouTUbe may not truly be high on my list, but that’s why I push so hard for WordPress, because I “own” that one

   @Barbara:
   There’s a lot here inspired by your recent moves and posts. I kind think of you as the forerunner of edtech surivivalists, and the character in the video is certainly channeling a whole hell of a lot of bgblogging. And to be fair, it was all Brian Lamb’s idea, he says something and I just run out and do it, I’m truly just an automaton with broken glasses.

   Go to ground you crazy bastard…

   well done! the broken glasses were a nice touch.

   Given Adrian Sannier’s Campus Technology 2008 keynote speech, it is a definite possibility we’ll all be teaching and learning in the outland in the future!

   You are crazy and I love it.
   Looking forward to advice on how to survive in these scary times

    You are the man Jim! Brilliant!

    Jim, you magnificent bastard. I watched the video this morning, and then again more times than I care to admin. You are fucking brilliant, Reverend.

    I am SOOOO looking forward to the next episodes. I’m picturing The Reverend, alone, with nothing but his wits (and a pack of smokes) to keep him alive. Like man vs. wild, but with the stakes set so much higher…

    Sick!

    PS Please finish them all before 10/17 so I can show them in my presentation for this http://btcelearningplanning.wikispaces.com/NWeLearn

    It’s road warrior, how can i not comment? love, keira

    You’re all too kind, this is the excess of idiocy that I made fun of in my previous post. But you can;t live a wrong life rightly, so why not? Thanks you crazy freaks, but the apocalypse is upon us, I hope you’re all preparing accordingly.

    watching this again….I am reminded of the librarian Mr. Atoz [A to Z] from the “All Our Yesterdays” episode of Star Trek, TOS.

    There’s also a little Henry Bemis in there from the “Time Enough At Last” episode of The Twilight Zone w/ respect to the broken glasses.

    Plenty of gothic fodder for Infocult!!!

    Awesome. Just awesome. I can’t wait for the next episode!
17. 17 Matt Sep 20th, 2008 at 1:36 am

    Way to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, Jim. I love it.

    “I went to open source because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. . . . . “

    Just what I needed to liven up my morning!
