Obscure and/or European design and fashion magazines. Even something like Australian or Italian Vogue is such a departure from what we see all the time here in the U.S. that they can often serve as inspiration.

Stumble Upon. Though granted it is a mixed blessing and curse.

I've found so many tutorials, images, artwork and ideas that I absolutely love through that little add-on... then I stumble onto a new webcomic with an interesting storyline and a backlog of five years *shakey first of doom!*

Don't think anything has surpassed coffee yet, so i'll stick with that.

As for the anti-mental jump starter, Gchat - the biggest time waster ever, but sooo addicting.

my wallpaper program Desktoptopia.

updates itself, and randomizes beautiful images, and designs. juxtaposition of things gets the brain going.

also just grabbing a design/photo/illustration mag. flip through it, see something, and let my brain fill in the rest.

I often find music distracting rather than, er...lubricating. It depends on what I'm doing.
