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.

Yikes – not just the hammer, but The Vision?
Let that be a lesson to all things-messers.
Commendable security measures, Reverend. I can only offer you the services of my own crack team of security agents.
Sounds like the work of Razor and Blade….damn voodoo people!

glad to see you are back online…..
You know Peter,
I think that is what the edtech world is missing at this very moment, rollerblades. I’m gonna go out and get me a pair this weekend, for I firmly believe that with roller blades I can truly beat the hackerz at their own game. Good call!
Rev….how about a blade server on blades? You can’t hack what you can’t catch! =)
Is this what happens when we have lunch together?
Yikes!
I will never ever mess with the bava!
@Steve,
This is what happens when I pay 🙂
@Mikhail:
I know that you won;t, I just know it, because nobody messes with the bava, NOBODY!!! (And that ain’t talking about some injun in Dead Man, mind you :))
INT – A LARGE HALL IN AN OLD CASTLE – NIGHT
Andy creeps through the hall in near total blackness. Thin, wide flat beams of light shine through the outline of a doorway up ahead, illuminating half his frightened face. The old wooden floor creaks underfoot with every step.
We see a close up of Andy’s face, filled with terror. Half in darkness, half in light.
BOOMING DISEMBODIED VOICE
The … bava … hammeerrrrr!!!
Screams echo out from somewhere behind the door.
Andy,
This sounds like one of Bava’s films, “Kill, Baby…Kill!” I think I need to come to China and we need to sit down and makes some films together. Why not? The kung-fu bava-remakes are prime for the picking.
Jim, is it true that “the hippies” are to blame for the hack? Do we know anything more at this point?
I have the camera … I have the warped mind. I have the scripts (mainly comic books scripts, I know).
I think it’s time for some short vids.
el oh el, dead, and more dead.
This is just more proof that you and my husband occupy the same nerdiverse. He has the same two bobbleheads–plus Iron Man (Mark I Armor)–keeping watch in his office, and Captain America in the living room.
Leslie,
You see he is cooler than me because he has Iron Man. I didn’t get that one. You see, I’ve always had a crush on the Scarlet Witch, and by extension thought the Vision was the coolest super hero for being her partner (not to mention his de-materializing and re-materializing powers) and hence when I saw him I couldn’t resist. Thor was just a shout out to all the Aryan vikings on the web 🙂
