For this discussion of the first two episodes of Season 2 Paul and I were joined by wire106ers Kris Hooks and Maggie Stough. We discussed the first two episodes of Season 2 of theThe Wire, “Edd Tide” and “Collateral Damage.” I felt like this conversation was really starting to suggest a model for the discussions. Everyone was sharing there thoughts and throwing out there ideas fluidly. Major kudos to Kris and Maggie for coming prepared and making this a throughtful and engaging discussion. Wire106 is really starting to catch its groove, and I recommend watching this discussion for a model of what we we’ll be expecting of these moving forward.

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.

-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
“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.
