Blogs I read

Diary of a Graphics ProgrammerWolfgang Engel being THE industry expert, his is undeniably THE graphics programming blog.
Real-Time Rendering BlogOne more MUST READ.
Irrlicht3DYou probably know him anyway. Nikolaus Gebhardt clearly maintains one of the most interesting and edutaining blogs in the scene.
Game RenderingAnother most intersting and in-depth blog, especially if you're interested in recent realtime rendering techniques and lighting effects.
Benjamin Nitschke's BlogDetailed insight into graphics and web development using XNA, .NET and C#.

Promising Projects I keep track of

PortalizedMind-boggling stuff messing around with portals. See for yourself.
LuxiniaEver wanted to realize something slick without having to learn C++? This one's for you - a fully scriptable 3D engine - you will have to learn LUA, though.
InfinityThe creator himself. Lots of math and fractal magic. The project is taking longer than seven days, though.
Sechsta Sinn (german)Awesome project, impressive realization. Hope they won't give up before they finish.
BugSoft (german)Really curious what this will look like in the end.

Communities that helped me

ZFX (german)The community founded by Stefan Zerbst, writer of some of the first in-depth german books covering realtime graphics programming.
spieleprogrammierer.de (german)The community founded by David Scherfgen, another book writer covering realtime graphics programming.
Developia (german)Collective presentation site allowing developers to showcase their projects to a broader public.
