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.

Jesus Eyes
I procrastinated tonight with an animated GIF, and you know what….it felt good! Now, the bigger question—does anyone have any idea what film this is from?
he’s a nihilist he believes in nothing
…and believe me it’s exhausting. I’m gonna revisit this one in Photoshop sometime soon and get it right. Way too big at 9 MBs, and the drift is off, but this is the one I want to perfect. This is … Continue reading

Animated Apocalypse
Here’s a GIF for all you edtech survivalists out there, keep the faith—we will rise again and slay the man 🙂 Kinda surprised no one did this one yet. I actually did a few versions of this one in GIMP, … Continue reading
Totò Animated
For my first experiment with animated GIFs I opted for the facial gesturing of Italian comic genius Totò in Vittorio De Sica’s The Gold of Naples. I think I’m going to do a series of animated GIFs of Totò in … Continue reading
