So, today marks the beginning of a project I have come up with to push myself to document all the genius happening around ds106. It’s simple in theory: three posts everyday until Northern Voice (which is exactly 30 days away now). But I am not sure I can do it in practice, but I figure even if I accomplish a fraction of this ridiculous number I’ll have gone a long way towards documenting far more than I otherwise would have. So, enough of the hype and promises cause now it’s time to start the 99 posts for ds106 cause this ain’t one. Thanks Jay-Z.

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.

Wow, good luck! I’m lucky if I can swing 3 posts a week on a regular basis. Then again, if anyone can pull off such a coup, it’s the person riding atop the ds106 beast!
Jim,
In reading this post I finally get what you said yesterday re: 99 posts. At the time I am unashamed to admit, I was completely and comfortably lost.
Good luck in accomplishing this goal … it is a mighty one that only a crazy bastard like you would even attempt.
