My First Semester Back In School - Daniel Marcinkowski After 10 years in tech, I went back to school at 28. Here's what my first semester studying Business Information Systems taught me.

First semester done ✅
First Class Honours across the board 🏆

At 28, I went back to university after a decade of working. Scared, excited, humbled.

Here's my experience so far: meetdaniel.me/blog/my-firs...

PS: I'm looking for a summer internship (Berlin/remote, May-Aug) — hmu!

I had the ChatGPT agent create an Apple Music playlist for my 10K race this weekend. It took a while, but it nailed it.

I know that everyone is upset at The Browser Company for how they handled things with Arc, but... Dia seems kinda great? I liked how weird Arc was, but, at the same time, it was a tad too much. Dia is simple and the AI integration is very tasteful.

After 10 years working in marketing, I’m going to university for the first time. I just accepted an offer to study Business Information Systems at @ucc.ie 🥳

Excited (and a bit scared) about what’s next.

Did anyone else notice that the default colours of calendars have changed in iOS 26 Beta 2?

There's no such thing as 'German efficiency,' especially with DHL. I have sent a registered priority letter from to Ireland last Tuesday. It still hasn't arrived. 🙃

I had post cards sent from other countries to the US that have arrived in a matter of days...

It doesn’t seem to work in Germany, or at least not with English (UK) language setting

I'm honestly impressed that the 2018 iPad Pro still supports iOS 26. Now someone please stop installing betas on all of my other devices.

Spotlight taking on Raycast wasn't on my bingo list #WWDC

Journal widget spotted on macOS 👀 #WWDC

The translation on phone calls looks amazing. Too bad I'm moving out of Germany 🙈 #WWDC

Do I see right that the Home Indicator is gone outside of the Lock Screen? #WWDC

You would guys love Berlin. I see people with speakers like these at least once a day

PayPal in Germany now lets you pay directly through their app with NFC. It's linked directly to your bank account on file.

I agree with every single word of your review. I feel like it's a Marvel movie that my therapist would approve of.

Don't forget to close your rings and head to the nearest Apple Store to pick up your #CloseYourRingsDay pin!

Thank you, Thenna, I really appreciate your feedback! That's a great point.

Improved Urban Sports Check-In UX Concept - Daniel Marcinkowski I have identified and designed a set of enhancements to the Urban Sports Club app on iOS that could improve its check-in experience.

I love #UrbanSportsClub, but the check-in experience in their app really needs a fix. So I redesigned it using native iOS features — widgets, Live Activities, App Intents & more.

Full case study here:

What I’ve Learned About ADHD (So Far) - Daniel Marcinkowski I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult almost two years ago. Here is what I have learned about myself since then.

Poor attention span. Restlessness. Procrastination. Mental overload. Burnout.

Two years ago, I learned they were symptoms of #ADHD.

Here’s a short story about getting diagnosed — and how I’ve been learning to work with my ADHD brain, not against it.

100%. It's just bad. Still, they have an app for Wear OS...

I'm putting final touches on my concept for improved check-in experience for #UrbanSportsClub 👀 Anyone wants to try the prototype?
