The Art of Channel Surfing

Channel surfing is the practice of quickly scanning through different television channels or radio frequencies in order to find something interesting to watch or listen to. Modern viewers, who may have cable or satellite services beaming down dozens if not hundreds of channels, are frequently caught surfing the tube. It is common for people to scan their television for alternative programming when broadcasters switch from a show over to commercial advertisements.

About the Hang Ten Culture

Surf culture is the people, language, fashion and sporting life surrounding the sport of modern surfing. The culture began early in the 20th century, and spread quickly during the 1950s and 1960s, and continues to evolve. Touching fashion, music, literature, films, jargon, and more, its basis is the love of riding the wave, the hunt for great waves, the desire for the ultimate ride, and life in and around the ocean environment. Localism or territorialism is often a large part of surf culture in which individuals or groups of surfers designate certain key surfing spots as their own. Surfers, who come from many walks of life, are generally bound by an intense love of the sport. Hang ten!

What is an Avatar?

In Hindu philosophy, an avatar, most commonly refers to the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of a divine being (deva), or the Supreme Being (God) onto planet Earth. The Sanskrit word avatara- literally means "descent" (avatarati) and usually implies a deliberate descent into lower realms of existence for special purposes. The term is used primarily in Hinduism, for incarnations of Vishnu whom many Hindus worship as God. Shiva and Ganesha are also described as descending in the form of avatars, with the Ganesha Purana and the Mudgala Purana detailing Ganesha's avatars specifically.
