Okay, so, this theme isn’t really working for me. It is a nice enough theme, but it really doesn’t capture the essence of “Old Skool Computing”. This site should really have a theme that incorporates the look and feel of 1980’s 8-bit computing.
Here’s where you can help. I’d like to create a new theme (or themes) that more accurately reflects what I’m trying to do here. With that aim in mind, I’m throwing a challenge out: Build me a new WordPress theme which brings to mind 8-bit computing. I’m thinking something along the lines of Commodore 64 sprite-style graphics, or Sinclair Spectrum-style bold primary colours, but if you have a better idea, go for it.
If you’ve got an artistic bent (and a bit of spare time) I’d really appreciate your help here. (I haven’t got an artistic bone in my body – there’s a good reason why I stick to the writing of code and leave graphic design the the experts!) Even a couple of logos and other graphic elements will be greatly appreciated, and a complete WordPress theme would be ideal. I’m willing to offer some CafePress schwag (t-shirt, mousepad, etc) to the best design(s) as incentive to do my work for me.

I was looking at that the other day. Very cool indeed!
When I get a few spare moments I will definitely look at installing this theme.
