If total beginner, and goal is just to get the basics:
Tutorials from babypips (mentioned already).
To look up individual indicators/tools in an intuitive, non-math heavy way: investopedia.com
If more advanced already, and goal is to get a more complete understanding of TA:
A solid book on TA is:
Kirkpatrick/Dahlquist. Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians
And a website going into more technical details about individual indicators:

Hello
I find myself frequenting this section but it seems I am the only one who has no idea what a MACD, SRI or whatever is. I know a lot of this is technical analysis, but is there anyway for a layman to understand this so he can grasp the conversation and (crazy I know!) be able to join in with his own?
Thanks, I think this post might help others too

Double click/highlight the word/abbreviation you don't understand, for instance "MACD."
Right-click it, and from the drop-down menu, chose "Search Google for 'MACD'."
Pick one of the first results, here:
This works for 70% of the stuff. When you get junk results, add "define." If still junk, try adding "financial term."
Now you know more than 90% of the local experts

You can search for terms on http://www.investopdia.com
They also have videos at the bottom of most term pages.
