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.
I am Jim Groom

Troubleshooting Madden 2001 YoloBox Streaming to 27″ CRT TV
I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit troubleshooting a streaming setup in bava.studio for Madden 2001. I’m going to capture some of my various failed attempts below so I don’t repeat the errors: Tried RetroPie with AV/RCA run … Continue reading
YoloBox Pro, Madden 2001, and a Reason to Stream
The rainy weekend in Trento provided a good excuse to play with the YoloBox Pro that’s been sitting on my shelf. I regularly chat with Tim about all the streaming he’s doing at Reclaim Arcade, which was an added push … Continue reading

Reclaim Karaoke at the Rockaway Club
It’s been a little while since I blogged, and that’s due to a combination of factors, including visitors, conference preparation, and a little bit of karaoke experimentation. The last of those will be the focus of this post, cause I’d … Continue reading
Reclaim Karaoke: Testing 1,2,3
I’m starting to get back into the stream of things after a month of seemingly non-stop blogging. This week I returned to both Reclaim Karaoke and playing a docent on the internet. Doing karaoke on the internet is something I’ve … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-22-2022
Well, this week’s stream was a train wreck. Luckily I could do some post-production to excise close to 25 minutes of mistakes. Audio continues to be my bane, but luckily the bava has always been a “b” blog. Special thanks … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-15-2022
The wheels keep on turning on the bavaweekly! The latest update reminded me we are into week 7 of 2022—it’s going fast. This stream was a manageable 21 minutes, and once again special thanks to folks like Meredith Fierro and … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-2-2022
This week there were two bavaweekly streams because I failed to record the one I did yesterday, which did have some issues for sure. That said, folks like Geoff Cain and Todd Conaway joined the chat fun, and that was … Continue reading
bavaweekly 1-25-2022
It has been a pretty intense week, and given the semester is well underway that should come as no surprise, but it always does for some strange reason. I had fun with the stream this week, and was thrilled to … Continue reading
Karaoke coming to the #OERCamp Global Online Conference
It felt good yesterday to jump on the bava.tv for some homegrown karaoke streaming, and this session was even done with something of a purpose. The folks at #OERCamp asked the great Tim Owens to present on Reclaim Cloud, which … Continue reading
