Lyman Ward plays an advertising executive in Ferris Beuller's Day Off.
He also plays one in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Both written and directed by John Hughes. Both live in the Chicago, IL area.
But these are two different characters and all I can think is...missed opportunity.

I’m BEGGING Microsoft to stop hammering the “you don’t need knowledge or DBAs!” button.
For the last 17 years, it’s the same messaging: first because of the Cloud, & now because of AI. I counted at least 4 instances of targeted, “you can do this even if you’re a novice!”, statements. #passsummit

Thank you to everyone who attended my session Thursday afternoon at #passdatasummit! Everything ran smoothly and we had some great questions and conversations both during and after the session wrapped. I'll be around all day so if you see me, let's keep the conversation going!
