Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.
-James D. Calder
@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.
-Luke Waltzer
My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

You’re going to have to do a video tutorial of how you’re doing the masking and exporting in GIMP because the quality of these is so good. I may challenge myself to play along with the summer ds106 course using ONLY the online Aviary tools. The more I explore them the more I realize these cross-platform web tools have just about everything necessary for every design and audio assignment (no video tool yet, though Jaycut looks interesting http://jaycut.com/).
Timmmmyboy!,
I’ll put together a tutorial soon, although none of the Jason and the Argonauts animated GIfs are masked, they are straight shots, and I am loving the effect. I think the animation of Ray Harryhausen really lends itself to the animated GIF. What’s more, I’d love to see how you are doing all this stuff in the free apps, I’m sure it would be just as good, and an invaluable resource for students and faculty alike. You rock!
Also,
You know that Tess blamed my lost voice on you!
Haha, tell Tess I had nothing to do with the debauchery of your travels!
I’m considering it a personal challenge to push the limits of these online tools. If they really can accomplish a lot it could ease some of the headaches of folks without Photoshop or dealing with pains of Audacity. Keep an eye out for some screencasts soon.
