I’ve been remiss on posting about all the amazing work coming out of noir106, and that is a great loss because there is so much of it. In fact, there is 4,574 posts from 70+ students in just over 10 weeks. How could any of us keep up with it all? The firehose is on full blast. That said, I watched Sasha Kellogg’s interview (the assignment was Maggie Black‘s brilliant brainchild) and I have to say it was totally inspired. Sasha Kellogg is a character drawn beautifully by Kimberly Roehl. So much so that she has literally taken over her blog 🙂 I haven’t seen anything like this in #ds106 over the past 5 years. It seems to me like the introduction of characters in #noir106 has proved an evolutionary jump in the digital storytelling akin to the black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

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’M IN THAT PICTURE!!!!!!
Hi UNCLE Jim! It was nice to see your post about your wife! But you didn’t mention ANYTHING about ME? Whyhowcomenot?
I wrote about Tina’s 2001 Odyssey during #wire106 when they made a face-in-the-hole one of me and it reminded me of that!
Well, bye UNCLE Jim!
But Tina, you are not in this specific GIF, right? YUNOGIVEMESPACE? There are many GIFs, but only one Tina, I would never mistake you for a pre-humanoid.
XOXOXOXOX,
Jim
WELL, did you not read my blog post about it? I made a link for you to click on before. Because then you will understand. PLUS, a follow-up post about the 2001 bone flying.
So read up, bubs!
Plus, the #2 post has a Dancing UNCLE Jim GIF in it!
