Welcome to Francisco's corner of the internet—a space for reflection, exploration, and genuine conversation.
You see, I grew up in the fantastic era of beepers, fax machines, pay phone booths in every corner, paper mail-in catalogs, bell bottoms, snail mail, 35 mm photo rolls and the wait for development. Things that you had to wait for them to be processed. That patience shaped who I am.
My Journey
I'm a 70s teen who witnessed the world's transformation from analog to digital. I didn't just observe this revolution—I lived through it. From the anticipation of waiting days to see if a photo turned out right, to navigating today's instant-everything world, I've been there for it all. This unique vantage point has given me a perspective that spans two completely different eras of human existence.
What This Site Is About
Rod63.com is my personal space to explore and share thoughts on the subjects that have captivated me throughout my life:
God and Spirituality: Questions about faith, meaning, and our place in the universe
Technology: How it has changed us, where it's going, and what we've gained and lost along the way
Life: The everyday experiences, lessons, and observations that make us human
The Universe: The big questions and the small wonderments that keep us curious
My Approach
I don't claim to have all the answers. Instead, I offer perspective—one informed by lived experience and genuine curiosity. I write as I think, sharing authentic reflections rather than polished expertise. If you're looking for absolute truths, you might find them elsewhere. But if you're interested in meaningful conversation and a different lens through which to view our rapidly changing world, you're in the right place.
Let's Connect
This site is a work in progress, much like life itself. I'm still building, still thinking, and still discovering. Your thoughts, questions, and conversations are welcome. Thank you for visiting.
