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

Something to Tide You Over
I’ve been making some progress collecting the various elements needed for the Creepshow (1982) episode “Something to Tide You Over” diorama. This will be the first diorama in the bavastudio space, and I’m pretty excited. I guess the first thing … Continue reading
Grounds…for Horror!
While in L.A. last week, my good friend Mikhail and I made a stop at the comic shop Meltdown. It’s a great store. They have everything from comics to graphic novels to figurines to video games—and the folks who work there are both … Continue reading
Dawn of the Dead: Hare Krishna Zombie Doll
While in the mall the other day (the irony is not lost on me), I discovered this awesome action figure of the Hare Krishna zombie from George Romero’s 1978 class horror film Dawn of the Dead. I couldn’t resist buying … Continue reading
Something to Tide You Over
A great zombie short from my favorite episode of George Romero’s brilliant Creepshow (1982), a grossly underrated film. Leslie Nielsen is genius in this one, and his whole AV fascination and the high-tech, camera controlled house was always one of … Continue reading
Dawn of the DMCA
Well, this is a favorite failure of mine. I was working on ideas with Tom Woodard on a Zombie-themed video for copyright, and I insisted on doing my favorite scene from George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (you can see … Continue reading
Dawn of the Dead, Take 1
Over the next three days I am going to be publishing three different videos dealing with George Romero’s genius horror film Dawn of the Dead (1978). The first of the three (this post) is a six-minute, edited “argument” of scenes … Continue reading
Dawn of the Dead, take 2
Being good for my word, below is the second version of the Dawn of the Dead clip I published yesterday here, but this time with a running commentary of the edited scenes. It is far from perfect, and Jerry gave … Continue reading →
