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?

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
