Marcel Kapfer
I do creative things.
Hi, I’m Marcel Kapfer (at some places also known as “mmk2410”). At the moment, I invest most of my free time in creative work. That consists mainly of photography, but I also compose music, train myself in graphic design, and write text as well as code.
While this website is (mostly) focused on tech-related stuff (like software development, operating systems and similar stuff) and writing in general, I also maintain a website dedicated to photography as well one for music composition. The blog here, however, may contains posts about more or less everything.
Since about 2011/2012 I am mainly using Linux (sometimes exclusively, although currently not) and in 2014 I started writing software. In late 2016 I began using Emacs and Org-Mode and now more or less live inside it. After getting my bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Ulm in 2021 I started working at a small software agency in Ulm, Germany.
Besides these pages, you can also find me at a few other places across the web.

I've been browsing through Ye Olde Blogroll today. I found many new people to follow and I'm looking forward to reading what they'll write. Thanks to Ray & Manu for curating this awesome list!

I'm considering building a /now page and I'm currently reading some others for inspiration. Any rather unusual suggestions on what to put on it? 🙃

Whats up /now?
2026-01-11
It will not be to any surprise that I read other personal blogs, and so I've already stumbled upon one or another /now page in recent years. However, I didn't know that there was a quite large group of bloggers deciding to follow the idea by Derek Sivers to keep a page with recent updates about …
Breaking out of the box
2025-08-29
Boxes are everywhere, and it is too easy and quite comfortable to put yourself in a set of boxes that somehow seem to fit. Even funnier, other people put you in boxes – whether you like it or not – starting with your birth. Your gender, your nationality, sometimes even your religion. That is …
Switching away from Pocket
2024-11-13
I've been using Pocket (the bookmark manager) for a long time, either since around the time it was added to Firefox in 2015 or around the time Mozilla purchased it in 2017. I can't remember precisely and as of now I can't even check, what was my first stored bookmark. Pocket always was a bit in a …
