Yes, that is the thing that is most sorely needed. I've been to numerous forums and there are non exclusively for autodidacts (that being said, there are many on College Confidential [AP self-studying is rampant there], but that only goes as far as high school)

Awesome!
If you want to add more physics stuff, here is a bunch of electricity and magnetism links. The visualizations are especially nice.

I found this list of yours on amazon helpful: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R2BKS9X5I8D9Y and I always like more lists of good books.
