To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.

There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.

Automated call centers are only the most obvious way speech recognition will be used. The software is now becoming sophisticated enough to identify speakers through 'voiceprints,' akin to fingerprints, eventually reducing the need for personal identification numbers.

If you do write down your passwords, don't make it obvious which password corresponds to which account. Even better, write the passwords incorrectly and make up an easy rule for fixing them. You could decide to add 1 to each number in your password, so that 2x6Y is written as 3x7Y.

Unfortunately, it is now obvious that no attorney appointed by the court will satisfy the defendant,

We're getting better and it's been a gradual (process) and it's been obvious to us. It's one thing if coach says we're getting better and we're getting better and no one notices it.

Some people will falter, but as a group, in general in practices and in games, everyone is slowly coming together.

We're a different team. We are making progress. That doesn't mean it's always going to happen all at once. The game can be cruel sometimes. I still remind the players that that's true on all levels.

We ran really well. We worked them really hard Monday, looking ahead, except for one kid who wasn't there, and it's pretty obvious who it was. She had her legs today, and that was a big part of it.

We ran ourselves out and took the bats out of some hands in a few innings. We made outs at bases we shouldn't have, trying to be too daring.

We wanted to take some chances going to second not third and home and we made some obvious misreads.

Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe if you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become so obvious yourself.

My last album as J. Tillman, 'Singing Ax,' that was really a premeditated death rattle of the aesthetic precedent I had set.
