Graphics and rendering
OpenGL.org
Everything you need to know about OpenGL (my favorite graphics API).
wglinfo
This is like glxinfo for Windows. It will tell you what OpenGL rendering modes and extensions your graphics card has.
Real-Time Rendering
There are some good links to tutorials and other information here.
Windows Screen Saver Programming
Some cool savers here and, more importantly, info and code for making your own screensavers.
How to Write a 32-Bit Screen Saver
A little saver example from Microsoft.
Gamasutra
Loads of good technical articles for graphics nerds and some good news articles too.

Screensaver websites
Isotope244 Graphics
Not just savers. This guy actually lives across town from me; what a small world.
Joakim Eriksson
Planestate is his first and one of my personal favorites.
Other eye candy
Humus
Great eye candy and technology demos here. He makes stuff with both OpenGL and Direct3D.
Kano's Webpage
This guy makes some sweet demos. Try out the rigid body demo if you don't believe me.
Everthing else
NiftyWindows
NiftyWindows is a free Windows tool that lets you do some snazzy window manipulation with the mouse and some hotkeys. WIN+S starts the screensaver with password protection enabled, which is nice if you have to leave a room in a hurry. The fellow who wrote it has done a lot of beta testing of my savers.
RandomScreensaver
RandomScreensaver from FalsinSoft is a nice tool if you don't want to see the same saver over and over again. (Description).
ScreenPaper
This utility lets you run screensavers in place of a background image on your desktop.
Terry's Page
My personal webpage.
Segway of Pacific Beach
My brother's shop in San Diego. Oh, and this is a picture of his first stolen Segway--stolen by way of bad checks. As you can see, Zam really likes his Segway.
