Over the last few days, I've slowly come to the realization that I'm suffering from the programming equivalent of Writer's Block. The Perl Muse definitely isn't returning my calls at the moment. When I'm wearing my fiction writer's hat and I run into writer's block, I read things or research things that will serve as inspiration. Not necessarily to get ideas per se, but things that just help get the wheels turning again. For example, reading Lovecraft and Poe usually helps. My question is where do you turn for programming inspiration? Obviously I think Perlmonks is a source for quality programming inspiration. Beyond Perlmonks, though, where do you look for programming and development inspiration? My intention isn't to start a metaphysical discussion. And the first person who says "I look inside myself" or something similar is going to get plugged into my NewAge::Weenie::GiveMeAWedgie() method. Seriously, when you're looking for something to give you programming/development inspiration, something to inflame your Perl passion, what do you do?

Thanks for your time, folks. Much appreciated.
