Is "blank?" what I am looking for?

I've always wanted something similar to @posts.title.empty_or_nil? In case the value being returned in the database is blank instead of nil for whatever reason, as nil.empty? would return an error.

Or.. does it? I'm getting confused.

I seem to just remember creating my own empty_or_nil? method at some point before to handle it.

In the original case empty? would be fine as find(:all) never returns nil.
