I’m probably late to this development, but I just read over the at the DUKE CIT blog that you can embed select works from the Google Books collection right into a blog post or webpage. How wild! So, I asked myself the question, what book would I embed in the bava? And I thought and searched hard, and then it hit me like a diamond through the forehead: Herman Melville’s Piazza Tales, but even more specifically: “Benito Cereno.”

Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.

My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.

-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.

How awesome! Now I’m hearing Marlon Brando reading this out loud. “Follow your leader…”
“Follow your leader…”
How could I forget that quote, it speaks so loudly to me 🙂
This is totally late, as I try to dig myself out of a feed reader hole, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d seen this already, but there’s a Sci-Fi Twitter Novel based on Benito Cereno:

And just because I feel like being a shameless self-promoter, my own blog post that involves creating a Wordle of the same story:
