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."

Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
āReverendā Jim āThe Bavaā Groom, alias āSnake Pliskinā is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed āused car salesmanā clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washingtonās DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with āEdupunkā, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

If I may, I think it’s time for a theological argument. Angels on pinheads kind of thing. Which of the following is most evil?
a) Facebook
b) Apple
c) Microsoft
d) Blackborg
e) Canada
I’ll take “E” for $500, Ed.
you’d better believe it. we’re coming for you, reverend.
D’Arcy,
That is my greatest fear. Zombies I can handle, Canadians are a whole ‘nother ball game š

the third panel is the bearded guy running to delete his FB account.
