GUI Design Patterns
Was Googling on "design patterns" and ran across Marijn van Welie's GUI Design Patterns and Jenifer Tidwell's UI Patterns and Techniques. Very cool extrapolations of the design patterns concept. The patterns paradigm originated in architecture (as in buildings, not software), so it only makes sense that this comes full circle and ends up applied to interface design. Also check out Dey Alexander's resources page for lots more.
The lesser-known Visualization Patterns site sports screenshots taken from infoviz research papers. Think of it as a lo-fi preview of what the more polished sites above will be listing in 10 years.
Speaking of patterns, I picked up Holub on Patterns and man is that a great read. Dense with practical advice, with a tone similar to The Pragmatic Programmer. Highly recommended.
