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.

That’s a lot of entertainment… for two dollars.
Alan,
YOu are dead on, and what is ironic is they actually say “You on the motorcycle” I don’t think they ever say hey you on the bicycle. Nothing like mauling a quote 🙂 You are that good though that it doesn;t really matter! It’s all about the megaphone anyway 🙂
Even more interesting, if you Google Hey you on the bike” this quote actually comes from Back to the Future, which opens up an interest frame for misquotes, serendipity and cultural confusion/conflation 🙂

The megaphone and the color scheme. It doesn’t hurt that I used to have this movie memorized line for line. Definitely top three for me.
