Maureen Computes Sumware in NJ

Hi! I'm Maureen. I run a computer consulting firm called SUMWARE in NJ.

Since 1982, SUMWARE  has customized internet, data base, spreadsheet and word processing applications and trained small, medium and large clients.

See my resume (which has many links to things I've done and places I've been).
 

This page points to some of the web sites that I've designed and to things that are important in my life.
See several articles from the NJJewishNews and Courier News that mentions our family.

I'm a professor of Computer Information Systems at Union County College in Cranford NJ where I teach:

In May, Toby Marx and I will be giving a presentation at the Teaching Professor Annual Conference.
Results of a student survey will be part of the presentation.

I've been teaching my students to create we pages using Google's tool: GooglePages and have put photo albums created with Picassa. 
See photos of my swim buddies from Swim Inc.

See me ready to jump in with my Swimman waterprooof Ipod

I think teaching is going to change completely in the next few years.  So does a guy named Karl Fische.  See 3 of his presentations that explain how and why.  Read his blog.

I made these links for myself and my family but now many of my friends come here finding these useful links:

Since 1982, Sumware in NJ has done computer consulting specializing in Internet web site development and search engine optimization. 
Since the birth of PC's i the 1980's, I've worked with PC applications, particularly integration of data bases, spreadsheet and word processing. (see my resume)

Being tone deaf and "artistically challenged", I express my creative talents designing web sites for non-profits and friends such as

Seiler The ReadOutAndRead project at the Plainfield Health Center The Bryn Mawr Vassar Bookstore in Pittsburgh, PA MinGeiKan is the Japanese Folk Crafts Museum in Tokyo for which my friend Kyoko works

These sites are constantly getting better. Check 'em out often.

I got several sites going that are now under the care of other folk, but unless I had lit a fire under the folks that ran the organizations it would have been a few years before they would have jumped into the "surf":

• Ziv Tzadach Fund. (www.ziv.org)
• NJ Association for Gifted & Talented, Brook Hill Poll & Tennis Club (www.brook-hill.org)
• Watchung Arts Center (www.WatchungArts.org)
• Watchung Hills Soccer Association, (www.WHSA.org)
• YMCA of Plainfield

As well as being a professor, computer consultant and web site designer, I take care of my family.  My husband Howard does freelance computer consulting and magic. 
My children are:

Adam, who graduated from Carnegie Mellon University (with his masters) is now working for  MoveNetworks, bringing TV and movies through the Internet to your screen. He comes home to a beautiful apartment overlooking the East River which he shares with his artist girlfriend Christine Hardtman..

Noah is a Senior at WHRHS and has been accepted ino the biomedical engiuneering . He's been immersed in computes since age 2.  He just made is own site and you can too at Googlepages.com. He is artistic too attending Bucks Rock Camp in New Milford CT where he did LSD (Lighting and Sound Design). This summer he is heading to Europe for 5 weeks  with Weissman Teen Tours..   When he was younger, I put together a site of safe and fun sites for him to use as his home page.  Noah attended  SIG, the Summer Institute for the Gifted at Drew University in Madison, NJ where I taught Gifted and Talented Kids.

I hope you'll give me some feedback, come back again and tell others.
