Shoes Meets Merb: Driving a GUI App through Web Services in Ruby by Gregory Brown and Brad Ediger leads us on a six page tutorial extravaganza through not only building a cross-platform GUI app (namely, a pastebin of sorts) using WhyTheLuckyStiff's Shoes system, but using Rails-killer Merb as a backend for storing the data. It's an impressive enough effort that Why himself has linked to it and added a few notes of his own (including the provision of a much better illustrative screenshot - as used above).
In related news, yesterday Why announced the launch of a new version of Shoes, known as "Curious."

Rails-killer. That’s what the smart kids are saying. How long til the cool kids start saying it?

I just like throwing in slightly controversial or unusual bits and pieces in here and there to see if anyone’s paying attention :)

Hey, we do too! Well… actually, not so much controversial about Monkeys on LSD.
