This doent work, yet. I get no data.

I think you can define a general scope like this:

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :created_on, lambda {|date| {:conditions => ['created_at >= ? AND created_at <= ?', date.beginning_of_day, date.end_of_day]}}

  def self.today
    self.created_on(Date.today)
  end
end

So you can use

>> MyModel.today #-> records created today
>> MyModel.created_on(Date.today - 1.week) #-> records created a week ago
