I don’t mind real-world UI, textures, trompe-l'œil — as long as it doesn’t trigger the part of me that feels like it has to reach in and fix things.

I don’t want to have to go wash my hands, blow off the eraser crumbs, wind up the tape measure, tear off the bits of paper.

If this rumored new UI for iCal is real and not just a mockup by a misanthropic Photoshop sadist, then I’m going to be distracted forever by the bits of torn paper under the toolbar.
