Q. What is Poly-Life?
A. This is a site I created in my spare time to aggregate content that I find on the internet. Thanks to Tumblr, I finally have a way to do this that fits the way my brain operates.
Q. Why “Poly-Life”?
A. The name is a combination of two of my favorite bands, Polysics, and LaB LIfe. If you want more info on them, click their names, although, unfortunately, LaB LIFe is no longer together, but the lead, Yuusuke Ooya, has made a new band, Polaris. Check them out, They are great! You may be wondering other things about the name, and yes, it’s just a great coincidence (that i have taken advantage of) that “poly-life” can mean “many lives” (hence, my website’s tagline)…(in the sidebar.)
Q. What kind of things can I find on Poly-Life?
A. All kinds of content can be found here! Everything! Funny pictures, interesting video’s, heart-pounding articles, cats with kilts, even the heated rant from time to time (like this) If it sparks my interest, it will be on here.
Q. How do I Poly-Life?
A. Look at pictures, click the play buttons on video’s to watch them, read text, and most importantly, LINKS ARE BLUE. if you see blue text, it’s a link to somewhere, so go ahead and click it!
Q. Who are you?
A. Hi, my name is Kenji. I am an amateur musician and semi-pro photographer. I enjoy music, science, and food. One day, i’d like to travel the world, jam with the locals, and then eat all their food.
Q. Where is your 24/7 streaming radio?
A. Look in the sidebar, its “P-L Radio”. Always on, and occasionally rocking the casbah.
Q. How do I operate the radio?
A. First off, you will have to wait a minute for it to load, the service I use queue’s up the entire library first, it should not take more than a minute, but if you’re really impatient, well then…you still have to wait. When it’s done, click the play button, wait for the buffer, and you are set! If you see a particular song in the list you want to skip to, just double click it. Volume control is self explanatory, if you can’t figure that out, seek professional help.
Q. How often do you change the radio rotation?
A. I will try to change it bi-weekly, but I might get lazy and change it monthly, or I might get antsy and change it by the minute, who knows. Whenever I change it, i’ll always announce it, so you’ll know.
Q. What is the scope of your musical taste?
A. As you may or may not have already noticed, i’m japanese, so alot of the music you will hear on the radio stream will be japanese music. However, because music is such a big part of my life, I love, and therefore, listen to music from all cultures and countries. Everything from French Jazz, to African Folk, to cats screaming at my television, so i’m sure you will run into some music you like. Besides, you don’t listen to enough music, you need to listen to more. Go ahead now!
Q. Will you ever flood Poly-Life with horrible ads?
A. Yes, absolutely. This place is going to be one giant seizure enducing flash banner, just begging you to “shoot the zombie and win an xbox”, chintzy dating service banners with (fake) women moaning about how much they want to meet you, and no less than 18 columns of google text ads. It will be the magnum opus of ad smeared websites.
…ok, maybe not. But I might put a little un-intrusive (small) google ad here and there. If I do, I promise it will never be obnoxious and/or intrusive. And I will never make posts begging you to click them. I’m poor, but i’m not quite at the buddhist-begging-bowl level of poor (yet).
Q. How do I get on your “friend” or “like” link’s in the sidebar?
A. Well, if you make a program/product/service that you think I would really really like, send me an email! Better yet, send me a demo. If I like you, i’ll link you! Hey, thats free advertising for you. As for friends, well, if your my friend, and you have a website, i’ll link you too, so get to it!
Q. Can I submit something to you for posting at Poly-Life?
A. Absolutely! Send me an email, and if I like what you have sent in, i’ll post it up! (and i’ll be sure to credit you). My email address is always at the ready in the sidbar (hint: click “Contact”). Oh by the way, I don’t like spam, so don’t even try. Seriously, do spammers think that kind of crap works? Maybe on grandma, but not me. I know how to use this interweb thingy.
Q. Are you crazy, or just stupid?
A. Yes
That’s all folks!
