Then again, I've had a day where several people tried to make appointments with me for "either later today ... or Tuesday afternoon." I can't tell you how many times I looked at my Calendar to see what day it was, and wonder if they were in another time zone. I knew my logic was somehow flawed, thanks for setting me straight.

In my interface design, the information flows in the other direction for the output of alpha characters. Your concept on the other hand produces an illegible effluent. I don't think it will work in that direction. @Miriam
Showoff!

@Meleigh

What you are describing is a digital-cranial interface, the opposite of what I was proposing. In my interface design, the information flows in the other direction for the output of alpha characters. Your concept on the other hand produces an illegible effluent. I don’t think it will work in that direction.

I'm not sure how well this is going to go over. Or ... maybe that's not the kind of interface you were referring to. :/ @Mike

Yes but it will require a cranial-digital interface.
