More interestingly he said he’s going to “ad lib” his speech, saying:

“Never read a prepared speech unless you’re really good at it; for a genuine perspective on corporate life, read Dilbert; and brevity is the soul of wit.”

I think if you’re able to set up a web server that receives more than 9 billion page views per month (56th in the world) with 24 employees…you’re allowed to just throw together any old speech off the top of your head.

Update: If your world headquarters looks like this even though you serve > 450 cities in 50 countries you’re allowed to ad lib the speech.
