After the applause subsided (no kidding) he made some general announcements about the flight, time table, weather expected along the way, anticipated temperature on arrival in ATL, etc. Only time I've seen that. Nice touch.
Captain of LAX-SYD did that a couple of weeks ago. Gave flight details and told us about the other three members of the crew and their flying experience. It was a nice touch!

Last week I had a captain come out and tell the F cabin a little about the flight and why we were running a little late.^
