Please visit us at stanford.edu Thank You.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.

Truth be told I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.

That's it.

No big deal.

Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.
