I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been know to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.
Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I can pilot skateboards up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. The laws of physics do not applied to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic and my bills are paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full contact origami. Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
I once had the ability to alter time but have since lost that gift. I gained literary inspiration from Hugh Gallagher. I am a graduate of Taylor University with a BA in Art. I am a Web Developer by trade and I love art.
cogwurx - the creative labratory of Romeo Zivoin. Within this graphical complex of gears, robots, and code, you will find his works of traditional art, digital art and web designs on display for your visual pleasure.
Rome was trained in the fine art field at a small university in the middle of a cornfield. Once he graduated in 1998, he traveled through many a job until a divine light brought him to a web design firm in Indianapolis. There, Rome learned the finer points of web development and web design, which has been his trade for over 10 years.
By day he works for a global marketing agency designing and coding; by night he retreats to his lab, creating fine art oil painting, digital pieces, and websites for himself and others that come along seeking his skills

Welcome to Rome's Place
Rome's Place...the hub of all things Rome. Here, you'll find pages linking up all of my personal corners of the internet, from portfolio sites to hobby sites, to sites that are just my personal coding and design playgrounds. Thanks for visiting!ugh...
After doing some clean-up on the codes of my sites, I discovered that my RSS feeds have not been updated for about...oh..4 YEARS!!! Ugh! So I fixed the glitch on the feed, you will have to redo your linkages for the feeds. Sorry about that.
Oh glory!
So I finally got around to updating romesplace.com...and how. I've been working on a new design for it for about 2 months now and I have it in a very good spot to actually launch this site! I'd say that this site is still in beta phase, I have a few other nifty things that I want to add and I'll probably clean up the code a little more, but for the first time in YEARS I'm happy with this site.
So what else has been happening? Well, busy summer with lots of weddings and getting ready for my first child to enter this world. I'm so happy! I'm giddy every time I think about being a daddy. In case you are wondering and if I hadn't already told the few people that actually come to this site, my wife and I are having a girl this winter. So excited I can't even tell you.
For those that follow along with romesplace and the few and far between ramblings, the house is doing good. Though the front lawn is an eyesore and embarrassment. Friggin' crab grass has taken over. *sigh*
I'm working on new paintings, but I wanted to finish this site up first before I dived in. However, I just got Starcraft 2 and I willing accept the distractions and time consumption that game will bring. But I will persevere and paint all next week since it's going to be great weather outside to actually do large scale oil painting.
Finally, I want to say Happy Anniversary to my wife Jenn, this has been the best 5 years of my life and I'm so glad that I'm sharing my life with you and that we are having a baby! Love You!
so...it's been awhile since I've updated
Ok, my plans to update this site every couple of weeks with updates and stuff has failed miserably. My last real journal post October and nothing really memorable has happened. Just stuff around the house and busy at work. So really nothing spectacular to warrant a massive journal post. There are only so many ways I can make house updates exciting that would keep people interested; hence the lack of updates.
So, for this post I figured I'd just share that Jenn and I are enjoying the beautiful weather. The landscaping is in a lot better shape this year than last. We have a minor ant problem in the front yard, but nothing we can't handle.
Vacation planning...maybe. Not sure where we want to go but I'm we'll figure it out. Still in the deciding phase.
I'm taking a programing class. I've been wanting to learn JavaScript for a while and now I have the opportunity. It's great and I'm learning a lot.
Also, this has been cracking me up all morning: Acoustic Kitty
Happy New Year
May you all have a happy and prosperous New Year!
I have been running a Tom and Jerry fan site for over 10 years now. It's chock-full of fun and information. Therein you will experiece a sense of nostalgia of when cartoons where made right and didn't suck. Go have a visit!
Using an archaic rotary phone as an metaphor to illustrate how far communication technology has come as a yearning for simpler times where people had more meaningful connections...too deep?...er...well... actually, I just like candlestick phones and thought it would be a cool background, but you can interpret the background and meaning however you wish.
Or maybe I should of had a picture of a mainframe, since it is more relevant to today's text based communication rather than vocal means, therefore lets dialog through electronic mail via info {at} romesplace dot com.
