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.

@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.

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
âReverendâ Jim âThe Bavaâ Groom, alias âSnake Pliskinâ is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed âused car salesmanâ clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washingtonâs DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with âEdupunkâ, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

Cool post Daddy-o
Very cool!
Next stop: Edtech survivalist!
Pingback: Pontydysgu - Bridge to Learning » Blog Archive » Edupunk will never die
All hail Reverend Jim! The Edupunk revolution has been made real by recognition from an established Big Media Outlet. Next step? Release “The Best of Edupunk” DVD box set for sale at the local CostCo! đ
but very, very cool Jim. Now I gotta pick up a copy of that rag…
Isn’t it funny how someone managed to sum up (& not too badly I’d say) in 25 words a term that caused the chattering classes to spill 1000s upon 1000s of words debating its meaning and the very possibility of its existence? (AND reference The Clash to boot!!!)
Rev, bask in it baby. But don’t get too comfortable, next up, Warner Brothers will be calling to sign the EduGlu Singers to do a version of “We’re so bored with the LMS”
Jim….you’re protoedupunk!
=^)
For a number of reasons this post bring me to hear thi song:
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll (Edupunk) is here to stay
It’s better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you’re gone, you can never come back
When you’re out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
This is the story of a johnny rotten
It’s better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Lets celebrate this recognition in Wired singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwwcllwq67I
Hey,hey, my,my Jim Groom
I know!! I saw that in the print edition the other day and meant to email you! You are da man. Let’s get edupunky with it!
Pingback: Metapizza » Oh No - “Wired”ed already
Sellout!
Like all our favorite bands, now we can all say we knew Edupunk before they went big. Heh.
@Brad,
No matter what happens with EDUPUNK, I’m still your biggest fan đ Just start blogging again you hippie!
Yea, yea, yea, I hear ya soul brotha
Wow, Rev. Pretty freakin’ awesome. But make way for the edupunk poseurs, I bet. I’ll be first.
Oh you mad genius, you made freskin’ Wired! I have that issue on my bag for the plane ride home…
Get out there and EduPunk the Casbah!
Woah dude, how cool is that?!
Fame and capitalist fortune will soon descend upon you…the Rev in “Blogging with the Stars” …”EDTech Survivor: tribe wpmu vs drupal”
Pumpkin,
I think I can do a pretty good alienating the fame and fortune part, hence the post title đ
Hmmm, you have given me an idea for an upcoming video: Drupal vs. WPMu in the wild.
Limos, merchandise, drug burn-out and an Edupunk reunion gig in 10 years time – this is your life now.
These are the kinds of things I wish users would submit to my new internet slang dictionary which is really lacking in user input at the moment.
What plugin do you use to insert flickr and youtube into comments? That is really cool.
I figure he’s holding out for the groupies. he’s got the rest of the lifestyle down, and the mad Edupunk cash is rolling in….
I disagree with a part of the definition. “Rebellious” doesn’t properly get the attitude across. It’s more like “revolution”. However, done properly, we could end up with two seperate systems that work with each other, and keep each other in check. Mainstream culture and counter-culture is the relationship I see, with Edupunk being the counter-culture, part of why the term is so applicable.
I have entered as accident but this site so funny
