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.

I used to love those great 2D animations in the Monty Python movies!
You should ask what program she used for this, cause I totally want to try now!
Anagahama, I used a combination of Paint.net and GIMP, both open source programs. Technically I could have done it all in GIMP, but the tools they provide for chopping a photo up, resizing pieces etc. are more complicated than I’m used to. So I used Paint.net to make the frames, and GIMP to animate them.
Huzzah! Check out “Flixel” at the app store!
