I am really into the http://arxiv.org e-print archive so I've been looking at similar e-print collections. These have led me to a variety of societies and such that are interesting. Here are the ones I found interesting:
http://www.iacr.org/ International Association
for Cryptologic Research
This has papers released in a way similar to arXiv. I have the RSS feed piping to my google page. I occasionally come across interesting things that I can digest. Most of it is way out of my league but I enjoy researching to understand it.
http://setis.library.usyd.edu.au/ Scholarly Electronic Text and Image Service
This has a nice section on philosophy among a variety of other fields.
http://www.acm.org/ Association for Computing Machinery
I was introduced to ACM by someone I ran into attending an http://www.irvineunderground.org/location.shtml meeting, or a http://www.oc2600.net/ It was recommended since we were talking about college students and having interest in computers since they release some cool papers and it's pretty cheap for students to have a membership.
http://www.isdg.tkk.fi/index.html International Society of Dynamic Games
Society with interests in game theory.
http://www.aaai.org/
I'm interested in AI and how it relates to philosophy. They have a conference and it would be interesting to attend. Pretty big resource for AI!
http://defcon.org/
The obligatory hacker con. Basically a party. Some speakers, but everyone's drunk. Well funded though. I still want to go!
http://www.toorcon.org/2005/about.html
This is probably the best con from what I hear. Best speakers and such. h1kari from dachb0den labs who developed bsd-airtools and is also known for research in FGPA field gate programmable arrays runs toorcon out of San Diego is the chairman of the organization. I hope I can afford to go sometime, or get a job that will pay for me to go.
http://notacon.org/
Art and tech con. Some guys from Ohio visited socal for irvineunderground meeting, and I talked to them about it.
Any others you would suggest?

just go to your library and utilize the indices that they subscribe to. you can find abstracts to virtually any journal article, and you can either get it online if your library subscribes to the journal (if not, you can get it through inter library loan).
theres this crazy society based around this crazy os um... I think the OS is called BSD... you should check it out :P

Heh I know the notacon folks... good people. they actually grew partially out of a hacker con called rubicon. now those were some good times people. the last rubicon i attended ended with drug sniffing dogs and state troopers escorting the attendees out of the hotel.
Good times.
Notacon is not as great this year as it has been in the past. I will probably skip it. The anything but ethernet contest ran by myself is awesome. btw.
