+This is a quickie set of categories on UIAlertView, UIActionSheet, and UIBarButtonItem which enables you to use blocks to handle the button selection instead of implementing a delegate.
 
 HOW IT WORKS
 ------------
@@ -75,6 +75,11 @@ That's it!
 
 The UIActionSheet category works virtually the same as the UIAlertView.  Just check out the header for the initializer you need to use.  It's very straightforward.
 
+The UIBarButtonItem category adds a new initializer taking an RIButtonItem:
+
+    [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithStyle:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
+                                      item:buttonItem];
