This site accompanies the book Subdivision Methods For Geometric Design: A Constructive Approach" by Joe Warren and Henrik Weimer. I do not have the book, but the web site looks interesting.

from a different site:
Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.

siggraph 2006 notes and pictures / academics
Today is unusual for me because I had to get up early on Saturday for work. Also, I now need to wait for some things to get done around the house. So I have more time to web browse.
Boston, MA hosted the Siggraph 2006 conference. A summary of it is here.
Hopefully later he will post notes about the Siggraph 2007 conference in San Diego.
On the more research oriented side is this professor's site:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~gopi
He was born in India, but works at UCI now. It looks like he has published quite a lot of papers and has earned some awards. He has worked at UCI for over 6 years now.
Also in the area are these professors:
http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~dt
http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~pfal
They also have published quite a lot.
Their papers seem rather advanced for me. I am planning on sticking to textbooks and lecture notes. One textbook that was assigned as part of a class I took is Computer Graphics with OpenGL by Hearn and Baker.
The instructor who taught that class had some of the following links on his home page.
A computer graphics course that uses that book:
http://www.cse.psu.edu/~cg418/download.htm
The school that teaches that course is Penn State University.
Other schools with online notes are York University and University of Waterloo:
http://www.york.ac.uk/services/cserv/sw/graphics/OPENGL
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs488/
I have not gone through those sites yet.
For the class, we did try a couple of these tutorials from Nate Robins:

3d file format for opengl
I've tried occasionally in the past to find code to import a file with 3d data into an opengl app. Today I ran across this post about that.
what is the best 3d file format for openGL?
So far there is a link to http://www.wotsit.org/list.asp?fc=2.

Blender-Compatible Motion Capture Library
Blender-Compatible Motion Capture Library
The blog entry at the site above links to another site describing how to import and use motion capture data into Blender. I have not tried it, but it sounds interesting.

DOSBox
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
Its a DOS emulator that uses the SDL library to do graphics. I still haven't checked out SDL yet. This looks like a neat application of it though.

Blender
http://www.blender.org/tutorials-help/faq
Blender is a free open source 3D content creation tool that uses the GNU General Public License.
The Python scripting feature sounds interesting, and it might be useful for working with OpenGL on a Linux system.

Simple DirectMedia Layer
http://www.libsdl.org/
from the site:
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."
I have not tried it yet, but it sounds interesting. I haven't had much time lately for learning graphics related information.

from the article:
"So Windows Vista is here, but what does it mean for an OpenGL user and developer? In this article we will try to give OpenGL application developers a quick peek at what to expect and the current state of OpenGL on Windows Vista."

from the article:
The Khronos OpenGL ARB Working Group has received requests for clarification concerning the performance of OpenGL on Windows Vista.
