While I am still cleaning house, I wanted to share the new homepage I create for the ds106.club site.
While I would like to pretend I actually styled this site, I did nothing of the sort. I basically copied the index.html of tilde.club, and then grabbed the stylesheet. …
Part of moving ds106 to a new server is making sure you don’t leave a trail of dead links in your wake. With great classes come great responsibility I think I have the caching issues and some of the kinks worked out after the move, but one think I did …
As the tale of the bava can attest, I have been knee-deep in migrating projects to the Reclaim Cloud. It’s been equal parts exhilarating and frustrating given the possibilities and the necessary learning curve, but that’s often the cost of personal and professional growth. That said, after migrating …
If there is any wonkiness on the https://t.co/GeVkKB717O sites(or sub-sites like https://t.co/F8ktYX9tBW, https://t.co/tC57HjGa1g etc.) it's probably my fault, so just let me know. #ds106 #buildingabettertomorrow pic.twitter.com/Twb8YMjUMm

If the migration of bavatuesdays was a relatively simple move to Reclaim Cloud, doing the …
As you might have guessed from the bava recently, there’s something in the air besides COVID-19, namely the #ds106 reunion tour 10 years on! I’m not entirely sure how or why, but I am glad it’s happening, and I am going to unapologetically ride the wave for as long as …
Last week I talked with Lauren Heywood and Bryan Mathers on #ds106radio, and I had a blast both times. I started thinking why aren’t we doing more of this at Reclaim Hosting given #ds106 and Reclaim go together like chocolate and peanut butter. So last week to the day Lauren …

This is a two and a half hour tour-de-force of a free-ranging discussion about radio, art, and much more between myself and the great visual thinkerer: Bryan Mathers. My relationship with Bryan goes back to chance encounter in 2015 when I met him at a conference in Barcelona …
The #ds106radio has been on fire recently, and I am not going to lie: it gives me a lot of joy and hope in a strange moment. A lot of first timers are jumping on (tune in tonight (day? morning?) for a special sharing is caring broadcast where three friends …
Note bene: I started writing this post 2 days ago (it was actually the 11th day of lockdown, not the 10th), but things have gotten a bit more intense since. Tinkering with this blog and writing throw away posts has provided one anchor in the mental storm of the virus …
Hey @jimgroom South Pacific with music to help pass the days by. I hear that Italians are singing from their windows to each other. You can blast out #ds106radio to them all!

Seems to me finding an Audrey Watters quote in a ed- tech focused presentation is as common as finding an image of cats. Her …
We are big fans of the SPLOT at Reclaim Hosting, and Alan Levine has been doing a ton of work developing and managing these tools o er the last couple of years. Not so much because folks are paying him too, but because that’s who he is. He follows …
One of the elements of Reclaim Video that I am most excited about is exploring what is possible through the website. We launched the website as part of the world premier at OER18, and it’s pretty awesome. We had a rough idea that we wanted when we reached out …
A couple of weeks ago Paul Bond reached out asking if I wanted to discuss Jack London’s 1908 dystopian novel The Iron Heel. I had recently read White Fang with my kids, so I was definitely game. I had heard the novel described as a kind of pedantic …
Recently on Twitter, Jöran Muuß-Merhol reminded me of a discussion we had back in 2016 at the OER Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland.
This podcast with @jimgroom on the beauty and the messiness of #learning is one of my favorites! (Only the first 2 minutes are in German.) https://t.co/5uoUMmTMyZ #OER16 #OER18…
Faculty Academy 2006
I mentioned in this post last month that the Faculty Academy sites were down. I discussed this with Martha and realized all the Faculty Academy sites had been created as an independent network within UMW Blogs, and given the plugin we used to do that has …
I’ve been back in the Burg for the last 10 days working from Reclaim’s HQ on a range of stuff. As a result the bava has been a bit quiet given the push to get as much done as possible in a relatively short time frame. I’ve been able to …
Well, I spent much of this morning configuring my computer for the first episode of The Monogamous Podcast. I use Alan Levine’s Rube Goldberg machine to broadcast on ds106rad.io. I am gonna leave a screenshot of my Ladiocast settings for future reference below:
That worked a treat, and …
Yesterday was a special day, Reclaim Hosting grew to four full-time employees with the hiring of Meredith Fierro. Four is the perfect number for a super group, wouldn’t you agree? Needless to say, the costumes are on order. Meredith worked as an intern in Spring, a part-time employee over …
At the bottom of the hour I will be doing a set on #ds106radio. Do I have anything planned? Of course not! https://t.co/DQNyRE6sLp
— Jim Groom (@jimgroom) March 27, 2017
As promised, I have made a subtle return to ds106rad.io. I always have the hankering, but momentum (or …
Been a while since I jumped on the Daily Create train, but I could not resist today’s OG throwback in honor of ds106 hall of famer Sarah Kountz:
It is a testament to Sarah’s insanity that among all the things I could think about on Valentine’s Day, such as over-sized …
Bryan Mathers siphoned off some booty to Italy from the Reclaim Hosting motherload. We secured a bunch of stickers by backing Visual Thinkery’s Indiegogo campaign, and I’m glad we did. I really love the stickers visually, and they are also quite functional because many of them, like the USA Eagle stamp …
Guys, its going to be like #ds106 all the time: @ReclaimHosting acquires @fredxfoundryhttps://t.co/WNttJ9spEH

Lindley Estes caught up with Tim Owens yesterday to talk about the new Reclaim Hosting offices in Fredericksburg. Tim and Lauren have already written about the space, and …
This post has sat in draft for almost three weeks while I finished traveling and decompressing from a month traveling. Like Cogdog, I have been a tired blogger these days, but unlike Alan I haven’t always been able to push through it. But maybe that’s not all bad, because …
