Comment on: I've reached a point in my project where I think I could get my coding skills critiqued. Where (besides here) could I post my project to get feedback?

Personally, I would pick a language, preferably one used in the job market (I'm a Java guy, so I'm biased toward that, lot's of jobs there), and just program, everyday, learn as much as you can about it. The time will help all the other stuff you're learning percolate and internalize, and if you're tenacious, you could walk out of college with enough skill in something to breeze through your first junior level interviews.
For a junior, anyone who sounds like they have some level of command of the language and seems like they'd be alright to work with on an interpersonal level is pretty much in. If you show that your'e eager to learn you'll fly through.
I am partial to programming, but if you're looking more into the hardware side of things, or administration, my advice would be the same, start building up environments with openldap, databases, setup SSH between boxes and fiddle with security, the more you are familiar with the better, and those practical skills are what you'll actually use every day in the working world (where you'll really gain massive valuable experience).
Comment on: Tool to overlay web page to simulate user interaction?
I've worked in a few places where they tried browser driven testing, and unless your system is very stable from a UI standpoint (generally meaning that it's not customer facing since marketing is always trying to change things) it's always been dropped pretty quickly because it's way too much work to keep up with.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!
