I tried out <a href='http://www.menuetos.org/'>Menuet</a> this evening.  It's really cool.  Make sure to try the 2.0 prerelease if you decide to give it a shot; it's got a lot more cool stuff.

I've been trying to write Ruby bindings for <a href='http://freetype.sf.net/index2.html'>FreeType2</a>.   I've gotten pretty far, but the bindings aren't quite done yet.  You can see what I've got so far right <a href='/download/ft2-ruby-20021112.tar.gz'>here</a>.
I'm also thinking about writing bindings for the image processing library <a href='http://openil.sf.net/'>DevIL</a>, but I haven't started yet.

I stumbled across a really cool graphics programming site called <a
href='http://www.flipcode.com/'>FlipCode</a>.  It's got lots of
interesting graphics tutorials, engines, and demos.  Finally, <a
href='http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/interviews/7.html'>here's</a> a really interesting interview with <a
href='http://us.imdb.com/Name?Garofalo,%20Janeane'>Janeane Garofalo</a>.
