- Improving avatar conversations to show real communication movements to make it more similar to face-to-face conversations
- Building Second Life: wanted to create a big empty space where people could come and build things together
- Always had entrepreneurial skills, and waited to start Second Life when the technology was good enough to create this virtual world
