When it comes to UI, never design what you can steal!

Steal from everywhere! Look at the best examples of UI near what you're trying to do and "borrow liberally". What works? What doesn't? You're a user, too -- what tools do you like and dislike for their UI, and why?

I find this works best when you "borrow" from multiple different great UIs and combine the best lessons from each.

Also -- get a design book, they're fun!
