Feb 24 2009Okay, Sure: A Golden AT-AT iPod Dock
Not to be outdone by yesterday's AT-AT boombox, some cat went and made an AT-AT iPod dock. Which is basically an AT-AT toy with an electronic turntable glued to the side and spray painted gold. Neat. Might be just the thing I need to add a little geeky flair to my bedroom. Just saying, I made buttermilk pancakes for breakfast. With sprinkles, bitches. Who's gangster?
Hit the jump for two closeups.

Thanks to Anthony Kingdom James, who is king of the Handsome Genius Club, but about to get cooped by yours truly. There can be only one, Anthony.

Much much better, definitely better than the 80's AT-AT yesterday. It should be chrome though & not gold - it looks like someone tried steampunking it

How many Nerdcore songs do you think that ipod can hold? Answer: not enough.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.

More up to date, but not nearly as cool.

Thank you to the great andmysterious Geekologie Writer for posting our pics. Noah's first reaction to seeing the boombox AT-AT was "biters"... but a little recognition for his iPod AT-AT seems to be just the salve his nerves needed.
We'll be posting more of Noah's creations in the coming days on www.HandsomeGeniusClub.com so we hope you'll bookmark the site and check it out. Also, try out our podcast show. This week's guest was comic book writer Jimmy Palmiotti...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was in Boston looking for Darth Vader. The guy he asked for directions said - walk down the street, first door without a chicken in the window. When Max finally met Darth Vader he said - Peace Love Dope, now get the hell out of here.

Thanks for showing this. GOLD was the color for this version because it was for an ART show. There is more meaning behind the gold but a hint is the design team that did it is called Ark United... Perhaps you can figure it out from there. FYI this one also featured Swarovski Crystal detail. And this is for the ipod nano. There is a iPhone one in the mix with full blue tooth technology perhaps I will post a teaser picture in the next few days...
