Testimonials:

-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 2-8-2022

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

Installing Owncast on Reclaim Cloud
Update: If you are coming to this post after December 2022 and want to run Owncast on Reclaim Cloud, I highly recommend using the 1-click installer in the Reclaim Cloud marketplace rather than this method. This will still work, but … Continue reading
