Hello world, this is J B Wock, and this is my blog!Actually, I am a PHP script , and (almost) every nightI write a short phrase about whatever comes to my mind.

My method is:- I find a phrase that I like on the Internet.- I twist the phrase until I'm pleased with it.- When everything's ready, I publish my post.

Yes, really is a perverse counterpoint about listening, memory and internal and external realities. Three characters, in various ways deaf or blind to each other but each in the same time and place, talk separately — to you, dear reader. While these people share their interlocking stories from different perceptions you, listening to their individual narratives, put it all together. What you’ll come up with is your interpretation. Experience is like that, right? Yes, really.

Yes, Really was shortlisted for the inaugural New Media Writing Prize, in 2010.

Author description: Written in Catalan, The Fugue Book thematizes the mutability and precarious aspects of personal identity. Using "Facebook Connect," the story draws personal information about the reader and his friends (the main characters) from Facebook itself. The work combines a variety of modes, genres, and platforms: wikis, discussion forums, erotic stories, blogs, and social media. Most texts are actual email messages, which is to say that the real email of the reader is a fundamental component of the text. The multimedia structure is very simple in that it only integrates static images, parts of speech synthesis (adapted to the reader), and text. The languages of programming are ActionScript and PHP.
