Clues so far that I have gathered

What it's not:

sex,
D/s
travel
movies
politics
social networking
a traditional career

What it is:

It's so inspiring to him that he's already been working hard on it.
It's the most kick-ass vision he's ever come up with.
It's the beginning of another major career transition.
He's never done before.
He's never planned it before.
It can't be named or labeled in conventional terms.
It's something that’s uniquely him.
He's still not sure how he'll pull it off.
He just knows that he must do it.
He still has many details to work out.
The core concept is still evolving.
People are likely to find it too ambitious.
Public reactions would be similar to what happened when he told people he was going to graduate college in three semesters.
Over the next year, many people will probably figure it out because there will be a shift in his actions that will invariably drop some clues.
Unlike his 2004 transition from game development to personal development, this new transition is about building upon what he's already done.
It’s definitely more of a forward step than a sidestep.
It has to do with expanding his contribution.
He's never blogged about this before.
It's a fairly specific plan though, too specific for someone to guess by taking a stab in the dark.
It's intended to affect a lot of people's lives for the better.
It has the potential to be significantly more impactful than anything he's done up to this point.

Other potential clues:

He’s still going to be blogging as normal in the meantime.
Recently he has gained an incredible new sense of possibility
He recently realized that the objective mindset was causing him to hold himself back too much, especially when it came to his career path.
He's been asking questions like, “If this really is a dream, what now becomes possible for me that I previously considered impossible?”
Lately he's been asking himself, “Where do I want to take my life story from here? What kind of impact do I wish to have on the stories of others… or on the story of humanity itself?”
He's looking at his life from the perspective that it’s an unfolding story in a dream world.
His recent words,"What game would I like to write that I’d most enjoy playing? What story would I most like to experience?"
