Testimonials:
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.

bavaweekly 4-3-2022
I think it is fair to call this episode the bava-bi-weekly, but I knew that would be the case given I was back in the US to close up the Reclaim Hosting offices and sort through the remnants of our … Continue reading
bavaweekly 3-13-2022
Last week’s bavaweekly was a bit delayed given how jam-packed last week was. Between heading to Vicenza to pick up a few video game cabinets and then catching up from taking Tuesday off things snowballed and I was not able … Continue reading
bavaweekly 3-1-2022
First bavaweekly of March, happy to see the weekly streams and reflections still going strong. My follow-up blog posts are a bit slower to materialize, but that’s what happens when you get addicted to streaming 🙂 Last week marked the … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-22-2022
Well, this week’s stream was a train wreck. Luckily I could do some post-production to excise close to 25 minutes of mistakes. Audio continues to be my bane, but luckily the bava has always been a “b” blog. Special thanks … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-15-2022
The wheels keep on turning on the bavaweekly! The latest update reminded me we are into week 7 of 2022—it’s going fast. This stream was a manageable 21 minutes, and once again special thanks to folks like Meredith Fierro and … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-8-2022
I was able to squeeze a bavaweekly in last Tuesday between sets of work waves pounding my spirit. It’s been a ride, and when servers start acting up everything else gets deprioritized. Such is life in the Cloud, but with … Continue reading
bavaweekly 2-2-2022
This week there were two bavaweekly streams because I failed to record the one I did yesterday, which did have some issues for sure. That said, folks like Geoff Cain and Todd Conaway joined the chat fun, and that was … Continue reading
bavaweekly 1-25-2022
It has been a pretty intense week, and given the semester is well underway that should come as no surprise, but it always does for some strange reason. I had fun with the stream this week, and was thrilled to … Continue reading
bavaweekly 1-18-2022
Another week, another bavaweekly, that’s three so far for those keeping track at home. They ‘re admittedly self-indulgent and silly, but they are a welcome diversion that keeps me experimenting with the streaming stuff, which I enjoy tremendously. But let’s … Continue reading
bavaweekly 1-11-2022 -the Show Notes
My first bavaweekly stream of 2022 is in the can, and you can watch it here. It’s a bit of a comedy of errors with my dog, Duke, trying to get his bone out from under the green screen. So … Continue reading
