Back in 1992, I started working for a company called Interval Research, which was just then being founded by David Lidell and Paul Allen as a for-profit research enterprise in Silicon Valley . 一九九二年,我开始在一家叫做Interval Research 的公司工作, 那间公司当时刚刚成立, 是由大卫李德尔和保尔艾伦 创办的一家坐落于硅谷的盈利性研究机构。

I met with David to talk about what I might do in his company. 我和大卫见面 探讨我在他的公司要做些什么。
I was just coming out of a failed virtual reality business and supporting my self by being on the speaking circuit and writing books after 20 years or so in the computer game industry having ideas that people didn't think they could sell. 我当时刚刚从一个失败的网络生意（虚拟现实）中走出来, 正以教学工作和 写书来谋生 在从事电脑游戏行业二十年之后, 我有些想法,虽然很多人都认为没有市场。
