There are two steps to creating a gem ...
1) Create a Gem Specification.
2) Run: gem builder gemspecfile.

The hard part is step one where you need to come up with all the metadata.
 A good place to start is:

    http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?CreateAGemInTenMinutes

The page has a gem spec that you can start with an edit to your
satisfication.

Or wait till this weekend and we can help you in person!
