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.

Lampadato
Lampadato is an Italian term meaning a sunlight tan, but the way Alan Levine’s translation machine get’s at it is much better: I love this assignment, and it made me go back to an Italian film I watched recently, Gomorrah … Continue reading
Bill the Butcher
I spent too much time on this not to post it here. I used the beta version of MPEG Streamclip for the Mac which seems to be working beautifully still in terms of allowing you to pull in YouTube videos … Continue reading
Etherized upon a table
Giving Serena’s “Picturing Prufrock” assignment another go, I decided to hit up the awesome archival image site Shorpy for some shots of old school surgery rooms, and this gem titled “The Cutting Room” from The Brooklyn Navy Yard circa 1900 … Continue reading
Mist-ifying Prufrock
Serena Epstein has a fun new assignment for ds106 that asks you to illustrate an image from T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” through the medium of your choice. As soon as I saw the assignment a … Continue reading
Three Cool Cats
And another Triple Troll Quote, this one focuses on cool cats, and perhaps the very coolest is the one behind the quote.
Triple Troll Mice
Let me just go on record saying how much I love the Triple Troll Quotes assignment now. I must admit when i saw this added to the assignment bank by Joe Proffitt during the Summer of Oblivion I didn’t think … Continue reading
Last Exit to ds106
Inspired by Cogdog’s ds106 image compulsion, I decided to have some fun with a recent gem “You Cant Exit ds106.” I basically used that image as a backdrop for my own sign slighting riffing off his sign. I’m still mucking … Continue reading
Criss-cross
Here is my contribution to the 4 Icon Challenge assignment. It’s a classic, but do you know which one?
4 Icon Cookie Challenge….the bava abides
I just happened to stumble upon some images from the recent Lebowskifest cast reunion (the film was made over 13 years ago!!!). I’m an unabashed fan, so I got sucked down the rabbit hole. The images led me to the … Continue reading
Danger Diabolik!
Danger Diabolik is one of my favorite Mario Bava films, and this animated GIF is taken from probably my favorite scene in the film which has Diabolik tearing around in his bitchin car driving to the tune of Ennio Morricone’s … Continue reading
