Subject: Ruby design patterns and idioms

I've read Design Patterns and similar material. While I've certainly 
picked up some good ideas, it seems that most of the techniques are 
simply the normal ruby way, or are only necessary for lower level 
languages and aren't applicable.

There are a lot of really useful things that can be done with 
method_missing, duck-typing, closures, reflection, all the 
metaprogramming stuff, etc. Most of what I understand of that comes from 
looking through the source of ruby projects.

Are there any books or other resources on design patterns or techniques 
specific to dynamic languages?
