Nothing like watching your own eulogy, I guess I really should pay Serena the 100 bucks I owe her 🙂

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.

The dead owe no debts.
There might be a toy graveyard on page 625 of the 1972 Sears catalog… a 6 piece tombstone set and graveyard digger figurines, plus the fully functioning coffin…
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
This video has made me realize I better tap your brain as much as possible while we walk among the living. You mentioned sharing some code that eliminates duplicate posts in a recent sitewide posts widget (when using the feedwordpress plugin). Please share before it’s too late…
A terrible blow, but that’s how it goes

Actually, this will allow Jim to return as a zombie. . .
And zombies are totally going to smoke the vampires this year.
@Ed,
That “freddie’s dead” should have been the theme song for my life the last four years. I think this needs to be the soundtrack to the film. Brilliant!
On another note, watching your own eulogy and having others congratulate you on your apotheosis to the heavens—which is certainly where I will go—is unnerving to say the least.
Even though my toy posts have dropped off for the moment, I am still alive.
Thank goodness, Rev.
RE: “I guess I really should pay Serena the 100 bucks I owe her”
Please, don’t. Borrow more, and don’t repay that either. I’d love to see what she could do if she commandeered the Bava’s YouTube channel.
Cheers, and welcome back,
Bill
The “bava” was the best experience of my life. And now, they’re all gone. And I miss every one of them. Why me? Why did I live so long? They’re all dead…. I’ll tell you why.. Because I’m a dancer!
Also,
The memorial montage is a bit creepy. No?
Nobody dies like the bava! Nobody!
