-Utility methods for modifying a ruby object's eigenclass/metaclass
+Eigenclasses (aka metaclasses or singleton classes) in ruby.
+
+Check out the implementations for {metaclasses}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaclass] in other languages for more examples.
+
+*Note*: This gem was originally written back in 2009. Since then, Ruby has introduced a couple new methods which provide the same functionality as this gem's <tt>eigenclass</tt> and <tt>edefine_method</tt> methods.

 == Installation
@@ -10,52 +17,80 @@ Utility methods for modifying a ruby object's eigenclass/metaclass
 
 == Usage
 
-This gem allows you to define class level accessors, readers, and writers
+Everything in Ruby is an object, including classes.
 
-  class SomeClass
-    eattr_accessor :test_accessor
-    eattr_reader :test_reader
-    eattr_writer :test_writer
+  class SomeObject
   end
-  
-  SomeClass.test_accessor = 'testing'
 
-You can also dynamically create class methods
+Every object has an <tt>eigenclass</tt>.
+
+  SomeObject.eigenclass #=> #<Class:#<SomeObject:0x007f9611030300>>
 
-  SomeClass.class_eval do
-    define_class_method 'test_class_method' do
-      'test'
+The implementation of the <tt>eigenclass</tt> method is pretty simple.
+
+  class Object
+    def eigenclass
+      class << self
+        self
+      end
     end
   end
-  
-  SomeClass.test_class_method # returns 'test'
 
-You can even evaluate a block of code inside the scope of an object's eigenclass
+Evaluating code within the context of an object's <tt>eigenclass</tt> allows us to do some pretty cool things like defining class level attributes.
 
-  SomeClass.eigenclass_eval do
-    attr_accessor :test_eigenclass_eval
+  SomeObject.eigenclass_eval do
+    attr_accessor :testing
   end
-  
-  SomeClass.test_eigenclass_eval = true
 
+  SomeObject.testing = :example
+  SomeObject.testing #=> :example
 
-A reference to any object's eigenclass can be accessed by calling
+The convenience methods for defining class level methods makes this even easier.
 
-  SomeObject.eigenclass
+  class SomeObject
+    eattr_accessor :test_accessor
+    eattr_reader :test_reader
+    eattr_writer :test_writer
 
+    edefine_method(:test_class_method) do
+      :test_define
+    end
+  end
 
-== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
+  SomeObject.test_class_method #=> :test_define
 
-* Fork the project.
-* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
-  future version unintentionally.
-* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
-  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
-   bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
+Since all objects have an <tt>eigenclass</tt>, we can even define methods on individual _instances_ of a class.
+
+  object = SomeObject.new
+  object.eattr_accessor :example
+  object.example = "cool"
+  object.example #=> cool
+
+  other_object = SomeObject.new
+  other_object.example #=> NoMethodError undefined method `example' for #<SomeObject:0x007fee348dde00>
+
+This is pretty incredible! Ruby is like one big plugin framework - with an awesome standard library!
