Testimonials:
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.

Dear Sir Bava,
It’s such a pleasure to know that the ds106 community has received me with such open arms this semester. I hope to lead your wonderful community on a tremendous journey. My colleague, Michael Branson Smith has been most accommodating as we make preparations.
I don’t wish to bother so much as we get started, but please would you mention to that MBS chap I’m still wishing he might consider a different denomination other than “nottrivial.” What is that nonsense about anyway?
Lovely start next week!
Regards,
Prof. Oliver
Prof. Lindenbrook,
I couldn’t agree with you more about the “nottrivial” moniker, talk about taking yourself to seriously, jesus. Glad you are leading this expedition, and I am packing my internet gear this weekend in preparation. I have always wanted to travel to the center of the internet, and I figure no better time than now before Apple turns it into an app. Consider me locked in.
