Pre-Holiday Design Resource Roundup

I like to keep my eyes peeled for awesome design resources that save me time.  I keep a trove of these not because I'm lazy (I am) but because I figure I'm not terribly smart, original or creative.  If I think of something useful, chances are someone's already beaten me to it (see also last five ideas for .com, .org, and .net startups).

Here's how I do it.  I use a news reader called PageFlakes, which I load the URLs for Del.icio.us most popular categories for "design" and "web2.0."  I look at it once or twice a day and it provides me with the latest things that other, good designers and interactive experts have flagged as having value.  I harvest the ones that look useful and toss the chafe aside.

So, as we gear down for a long Fourth of July weekend, I present to you some of the best design resources I've seen.  They're guaranteed to save you time, money and headache (guarantee not good in most states).

Generators
These will do many of the things desktop software would, back in the web 1.0 days.  Now that web 2.0 is here, why pay for and install something you can get on the web for free?

    How To's
    These will give you an overview of how to do something.  Read these before going into a meeting and people will think you know what you're talking about.

    Samples
    These offer pre-written code or design decisions, so you don't have to.

    Fun
