For those who need and Author box for their Thematic Child Theme, here is the code:

Add this to functions.php:

//Thematic Author Box
function authorBox_above_comments() {
?>
<div class="authorbox">
  <div class="left">
      <?php echo  get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email'), '80' ); ?>
  </div>

  <div  class="right">
      <div class="author_box_author"><?php _e('by', 'thematic') ?> <?php  the_author_posts_link(); ?></div>
      <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('description') !='') { ?>
        <div class="author_box_description"><?php the_author_meta('description'); ?></div>
      <?php } ?>
      <div class="author_box_meta">
      <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('aim') !='') { ?>
        <div><a href="https://twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta('aim'); ?>" target="_blank">@<?php the_author_meta('aim'); ?></a></div>
      <?php } ?>
      <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('yim') !='') { ?>
        <div><span>Y!M: <?php the_author_meta('yim'); ?></span></div>
      <?php } ?>
      <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('url') !='http://') { ?>
        <div><?php _e('Website', 'thematic') ?>: <a href="<?php the_author_meta('url'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_author_meta('url'); ?></a></div>
      <?php } ?>
      </div>
  </div>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_abovecomments','authorBox_above_comments',0);

Add this to style.css:

/* Author Informations Box */
.authorbox {
	overflow: hidden;
	font-size: 13px;
	background: #F5F5F5;
	border: 1px solid #CCC;
	color: #777;
	text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #FFF;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	border-radius: 5px;
}
.authorbox a {
	color: #777;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.authorbox .left {
	float: left;
	width: 90px;
	height: 90px;
	margin: 25px;
}
.authorbox .left img {
	padding: 3px;
	background: #FFF;
	border: 1px solid #CCC;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #BBB;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	border-radius: 5px;
}
.authorbox .right {
	float: left;
	margin-top: 25px;
	width: 425px;
}
.authorbox .author_box_author {
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #AAA;
}
.authorbox .author_box_author a {
	color: #777;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.authorbox .author_box_meta > div {
	float: left;
	margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
	color: #555;
}
.authorbox .author_box_meta > div a {
	color: #555;
}

Enjoy :)

Just a different version of your Author Box (although no CSS styles). I tinkered around with the structure (going for less divs). Also removed aim, jabber/google talk and yim since I don't know anyone who uses them, replaced them with twitter and facebook. Figured this also might help others and it was something I have been meaning to do and you inspired me.

// modify user profile contact info in wordpress admin
// http://wp-snippets.com/addremove-contact-info-fields/
function childtheme_contactmethods( $contactmethods ) {
    $contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter Username'; // add twitter
    $contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook Link <span class="description">(http:// required)</span>'; // add facebook

    unset($contactmethods['yim']); // remove yahoo instant messenger
    unset($contactmethods['aim']); // remove aol instant messenger
    unset($contactmethods['jabber']); // remove google talk / jabber services

    return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods','childtheme_contactmethods',10,1);

// add a author box for thematic above the comment section
// http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/thematic-author-box
function childtheme_authorbox() { ?>
<div class="authorbox">
    <div class="authorbox-image"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email'), '80' ); ?></div>
    <div class="authorbox-info">
        <h4><span>About</span> <?php the_author_meta('nickname'); ?></h4>
        <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('description')) { ?>
        <p><?php the_author_meta('description'); ?></p>
        <?php } ?>
        <ul>
            <?php if ( get_the_author_meta('twitter')) { ?>
            <li><a href="http://twitter.com/<?php the_author_meta('twitter'); ?>" target="_blank">@<?php the_author_meta('twitter'); ?></a></li>
            <?php }
            if ( get_the_author_meta('facebook')) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php the_author_meta('facebook'); ?>" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li>
            <?php }
            if ( get_the_author_meta('url')) { ?>
            <li><a href="<?php the_author_meta('url'); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_author_meta('url'); ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_abovecomments','childtheme_authorbox',0);

Technically I could get rid of 2 more divs, but might as well leave those for style if someone decides to go all out that should be enough hooks still. :)

Good idea on adding/ removing some contactmethods, I'll use that.

I am 25 and I barely know what AIM is/was :)) , but looking at it's name problably was an instant messenger like yahoo messenger/ skype. But I have to say that I like their website a lot, that is a nice presentation :D

Thanks for your tips.
