Rails console tips, tricks and customizations

Question

There's this great post on irb tricks, but what about further customizing Rails console behavior and output?

Awesome print and Hirb are great.

SQL logging is a must for me. In your ~/.irbrc paste:

require 'logger'
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) if defined?(Rails)

What's your tip/trick/gem of choice?
