Welcome to the Geeks in Heat Event! Oh, I bet that got your eyeballs! “SUMMER”. It means nerds in the summer , O challenged one, gutter brain, thou. Big Head Bob wants to welcome everyone to the hot, clear, shiny, azure-skied days with open arms and short sleeves! And a few funny shirt designs, of course. Big Head Bob, home of fun shirts and stuff for gamers, fans and nerds, started off the summer with a bang; a new design for the Fourth of July – “ Let’s Blow Something Up! ” Not just for the 4th, mind, as it doesn’t really come from firecrackers. It comes from a love of the TV show Mythbusters, in which a ‘normal’ episode often includes some kind of (large) explosion.

It's an easy way to turn your favorite photos into a beautiful canvas.  Turn Your Photos To Canvas   The ordering process was super easy! I was walked through every step and shown a preview of my image as I went. It was a very fast process. One thing I liked was when I uploaded my image, it let me know right then the quality of the image. Too many times I have gone to pick up my photos and the quality was less than satisfactory. With Canvas prints, I had no worries. From start to finish, my image was ready for preview in about 10 minutes. I chose to use an image of my Dad for my Canvas. Even though he is no longer with us, I feel like a piece of him is close by when I see this picture so it only made sense for me to use this one. He was standing in Mexico here and the surroundings were just...
