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.
I am Jim Groom

Flickr Photo Gallery
I have been meaning to write about just how easy it was to include the eight Flickr images I used for the In Jim’s Chair post. Tan Tan Noodles’ Flickr Photo Gallery plugin for WordPress (and WPMu) is often associated … Continue reading
In Jim’s Chair
I just found this series of photos on UMW DTLT’s flickr account, took me a bit longer than I would have liked, but well worth it nonetheless. Looks to me like the folks at DTLT had a good time making … Continue reading
Library of Congress Images on Flickr
Image found on the Library of Congress site here, very Star Warsy in my opinion 🙂 This news is making the rounds, but it is really cool to see 3,000 Library of Congress images on Flickr. The logic by which … Continue reading
Mary Washington Centennial on flickr
UMW’s centennial is on the Flickr bus! As 2007 comes to a close, the University of Mary Washington’s centennial year is set to begin. There has been much preparation for the centennial festivities, and the occasion has in many ways … Continue reading
Yahoo! Powered Shortcuts Plugin
I’m not sure what to think about the new Yahoo! Shortcuts plugin that WordPress folks are blogging about. It seems to be a joint venture between WordPress and Yahoo! that scans your posts to recommend and create shortcut links to … Continue reading
If you will it, it is no dream!
Nathan‘s just one of many recently converted disciples, this could be you! And another disciple in Barbara, who seems to have a shrine going… Thanks for playing along with my shameless self-promotion!
In Cold Blood
I picked up Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood for the first time this weekend. I am only a hundred pages in thus far, but I can only begin to suggest how artfully he frames the narrative in the first fifty … Continue reading
Intermittent presents of endurance and hope on Flickr
One of the things I love about my Flickr photostream are the intermittent gifts from my contacts. Fotoedge’s images regularly provide me with a beautifully textured and preserved Americana of the Mid-West. Whenever he uploads a new photo I am … Continue reading
WordPress Rich Comments! Plugin
The Rich Comments! plugin is by no means essential, and the code is still in its infancy. But its one of those plugins that I dig because it is ajaxy, unneccessary, and maybe even irrational given that we still don’t … Continue reading →
