Something Dr Nic recently released which I think is cool might be helpful
is: map_by_method

http://drnicwilliams.com/2007/08/12/map_by_method-now-works-with-activerecord-associations/

> user.companies.map_by_id_and_name
=> [[1, 'Dr Nic Academy'], [9, 'Dr Nic Institute of Being Silly']]


Simple but handy.
