Very nice sketches. But I want to point out that if you don't sketch you shouldn't feel like you're "doing it wrong". Sketching is not a required step. Starting straight in Photoshop (or even in the browser) are both valid methods too.
I suck at design and I think omitting the sketch step is part of the reason why. Dick Tracy poster is great.

You may suck at design because you lack some artistic culture , it is has nothing to do with sketching or even the ability to draw. Get a generic art history book , study a ton of design from other designers and you'll be a better designer.

The issue is that my passion to code is greater than my passion to design. Even if I do start at the sketch step, I all but salivate at the chance to get cracking on the CSS.
I don't suck because I can't sketch, I suck because I don't sketch. :P Whenever I do sketch my designs come out better.

It's definitely not required, but it can probably save you some time since it's a bit easier to erase some pencil than it is to start again in Photoshop.
Not for me. I use a Wacom (with Illustrator, not PS, but same diff) and flipping around the the pen to erase is really no different from using a regular pencil. Except way faster.
Since I can use layers and selective editing and save off versions I feel much more relaxed doodling and exploring this way. It's trivial to save the interesting ideas while obliterating the crap.
If I really wanted to start fresh, select all -> delete is quite fast.
The big wins for pencil and paper are: ease of transport and accessibly (much simpler to carry around a sketch pad and some pencils); the tactile feedback; the resolution.
Much as with using a word processor vs. a typewriter and some Wite-Out there are interesting psychological differences at here, too.

You won't really know what you know until you apply it. You will likely suck at it. Doesn't matter. You'll suck a little less at it next time.
"The experienced illustrator subscribes to the principle of the application of the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair. Should inspiration whisk down your chimney, be at your table. The first ten thousand drawings are the hardest. Put another way, you have ten thousand bad drawings within and should expel them as quickly as possible."
