Layout idea request

So we're in the final stages of putting the tiny site, and I need some ideas. Specifically, I need some examples of something small triumphing over something small. Examples of this would be David and Goliath, an elephant being afraid of a mouse, etc.

I've got two. I need a half dozen or so. If you can send me some ideas, I'd really appreciate it, and I'll be sure to give you props on the site once it's launched.

Thanks,
Dieter

P.S.
If you want to start playing with the app before the official launch, the SVN repository is at http://svn.ubermondo.com/tiny...

we have liftoff.

So I've just launched the new ubermondo site, and I have to say that I'm pretty stoked. The site itself is not terribly complex, but it represents a huge deal for me, because it's powered by the first Ruby on Rails application I've ever built.

Tiny, the app I built to power the site (and, hopefully, many others), is somewhat like a miniature CMS; it cranks out clean, standards-compliant code that is a snap to deal with using unobtrusive javascript and good ol' fashioned CSS.

And I got to wear a fez. Life is good.
