Innovation Wishlist: I wanna build a rail system that doesn't involve clearing lots of space.

So a few nights ago a friend dropped a prophetic word on me and I felt encouraged to do another sit and listen to God time in the prayer house. Basically I spent two hours getting pictures of technology surrounding the idea of what would it take to ship a full size shipping container along an elevated rail underneath a forest canopy without having to clear any trees. Watch the video on Shweeb and then imagine that for shipping containers. http://shweeb.com/

Here’s the stream of thoughts from last night:
What is the tallest shipping container elevator that's not a crane?
Look at Minecraft see if it's good for modding to illustrate shipping containers.
Find somebody that invented self installing rail.
Can you use trees as load bearing pilings without cutting them down?
Has anyone invented somekind of rail router for switching tracks, like a traffic circle but for suspended rail?
Regarding the Shweeb concept is there a way to use existing bicycle on a rail
Do I know any roller coaster engineers?
Who can model this in Unity 3D?
Let people volunteer their google app engine accounts to host 3d model of Congo.
Wiki 3d model. Score people on accuracy.
Can Google app engine host unity 3-D?
What's the heaviest shipping container can get?

How effective is Blogger at sharing now.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass. Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything. By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies. How has this been overlooked. There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family. There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work. After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work. I went through a nearly parallel issue with Google Compute Engine. It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. : I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate. I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms. If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech, I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money: There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
