No I don't design haha, don't even have the patience for it. I would be sitting there like, "Damn it! I just want to move this layer just an inch over, and it won't go!" I have made a few GIFs that I've used in the past, but the vast majority of these I just find when I'm roaming around online.
And yeah, I go mountain biking often across the desert just to enjoy the silence and whatnot. But in the summer, there are some days I won't go outside...usually when the high is near 115. I just don't feel like having something go wrong and that's the last they hear of me.
P.S. That's good about your depth perception. Most people have no clue (my mom, for example) just how far away some things are. "Well it's right there, so I'll just walk over to it." Yeah, it's never that easy.
