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.

Genius. Though you look a bit like the child of Peter Criss and The Incredible Hulk as Rorschach in the forthcoming sequel to Watchmen.
Did you just mention Peter Criss on the bava? Very nice. Yeah, the makeup guy got sick, sO I had to forge on all alone, and I’ll remember this smart ass comment commie.
I AM AN ARTIST, DAMN IT!!!!
You are an artist Jim 🙂
PS Do I get no credit for finding the mask idea? Sheesh.
You did find the mask instructions on the web, unfortunately I couldn’t use them cause my marker wouldn’t imprint, so I just colored tights. Though you should get credit for the tights. Why are you always dogging me about credit? I’m a solitary artist, this stuff happens in a vacuum, don’t you know that?
What is that famous quote? “Bad artists imitate, the great artists steal”.
Guess you must be a great artist 🙂
All right, damn it, gimme the link to your discovery so I can hat tip you. And now all I have to do is pay Joe Calpin his money, and I am out from under the DTLT student aide posse that dogs me so.
I’m an artist damn it, I don;t have time for this.
Genius! I think every conference should have a Rorschach presentation. AHA, MLA, Congress, the United Nations. Time to start consulting, your Bavaness.
This is as good as it gets!
“There can BE NO COMPROMISE!”
Insane. Amazing. WTF.
Go get them, Bava … unless of course you were talking to me in which case I have a joke to tell you.
Nice hat.
Well done, Agent Rorschach, you are carrying out the mission like few care or can, a model you are to protocol B39.
You shall be justly rewarded… by the action of those that join the revolution.
