SiliconDust HD Digital Tuner
Monday, November 5, 2012
Many religions and cultures contain the concept of an Axis Mundi, or cosmic centerpiece that connects the earthly world to that of the heavens. In our modern culture, it is clear that the personal computer occupies this role. And this HD Digital Tuner feeds but one more root into this modern Tree Of Life by letting you watch network and cable TV right on your desktop.
The Norse cosmic tree Yggdrasil.
Think about it: Your computer is already your gateway to work, communication with distant friends and loved ones, dating, music, restaurants, and news. Network and cable TV were the only thing left to be subsumed under this all-encompassing pillar of the universe.
We could bore you with the nitty-gritty specifics of this SiliconDust tuner, but you’re probably just going to watch a review on CNet or something. Instead, let us marvel at the godhead that is today’s personal computer. Like an octopus residing in the center of the Earth pulling strings and levels to enact chains of causality, our PCs have become the Hub of All Things.
So watch Ellen at 3pm on your laptop, and marvel at the interconnectedness of the world. Record reruns of Grace Under Fire, and feel the reverberating hum of the one universal sound/thought. Watch Turner and Hooch on TBS and feel at peace knowing your soul will reside in another plane following death.
