Not sure about monkeying with Nil, but it's a nice lightweight
solution.

Agreed that Object.create(params[:object]) is frightening.  I
shuddered the first time I saw it in Rails, then got a bit too used to
it.  Another less intrusive method:

 def update(id, person)
   @person = Person.get(id)
   @person.update_attributes({:name, :email}.each{|k|person[k]})
...

A bit strange having a variable called person that is really a hash,
but doesn't seem to be a way to rename that....
