I could not decide if I wanted to write my own from scratch, hack another theme, or write a child theme.

In the end I went with writing a child theme for Twenty Ten. I have such a difficult time finding a theme I like, and then find myself hacking it for hours on end because the code sucks. Writing my own theme would have taken years, well maybe not, but would have taken far too long.

So here is my new WordPress child theme, titled “Mr. Jones”, inspired by the WordPress 3.0 Admin Bar and the grey color scheme.

Well I’m a paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and grey
All of the beatiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well you know, grey is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a grey guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me…
- Counting Crows, Mr. Jones

My wife and I missed our flight from Athens, Greece to Munich, Germany. Luckily enough we were put on a later flight but would have to spend the night in Munich. The following morning while eating breakfast and watching MTV I happened to see two videos for the band Seeed. From that day on I have loved this band and their music videos. I have to say that their music videos are some of the best I have ever seen. One in particular has remained my favorite music video of all time…Ding.

Forward to October 1st, 2007. Here we go again…

I was playing around on YouTube and found the video for Ding. See below:
