Who the hell is Sol LeWitt? Some kinda artist or something? Anyway, Tom Woodward is cutting his teeth on some audio mashup goodness, for what I’m not sure—who is Sol LeWitt?—but I like the sounds of conceptual freedom.

Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.

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.

My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."

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.

Thought you’d find that interesting. Didn’t figure you’d post it.
Basic scenario, we had to make podcasts for some reason on artists at the VA Museum of art. Jim Coe and I got conceptual art- thus Sol LeWitt.
I was bored with the task and figured I’d assemble some interesting audio (your stuff, Running w the Devil Lyrics, my computer singing the Sol wikipedia article etc.). I then gave instructions to Jim to make it interesting. So our podcast is now also conceptual art.
My ideas turned him into an art machine. Thought you sounded pretty good. Makes me want to revisit that stuff.
Tom,
Thanks for the context, and you must always remember everything is bavable! You know I can resist any excuse for a post, plus I love the whole thing. it is funny and smart, and I found out far more about Sol LeWitt than I had ever known before—in fact I hadn’t ever heard of him. So thanks Tom and Jim 🙂
