<http://photo.net/> is a good resource.  They have reviews, a section 
devoted to learning about photography, and discussion forums.  Mind the 
nudes (tasteful thumbnail on the upper right of the home page currently) 
if you are at work.

I'm a fan of Philip Greenspun, <http://philip.greenspun.com/photography/>, 
who wrote the photography tutorial for photo.net 
<http://www.photo.net/photo/tutorial/>.  He writes clearly and explains 
his thinking.
