Where do people get web design patterns/inspiration from? [closed]

Question

I like to think I come up with original concepts as and when I can but I do find it really gives me a kick start when I can see examples of what other people have been doing to inspire my own design process. I thought it might be good to post a question providing links to some of the best design pattern/inspiration web sites I have come across in the past.

Here are some that I use quite frequently, probably in order of most used:

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/

http://patterntap.com/

http://patternry.com/?page=1

http://konigi.com/

http://www.designfridge.co.uk/

Does anyone have any others to add to this list?
