A Farmer Knows His Tools
No serious farmer walks into a field without the right equipment. The wrong tool at the wrong time doesn’t just slow you down — it can cost you the whole crop. That’s how I think about technology. Not as entertainment. As infrastructure.
I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem since 1992 and I’m still paying attention, still reading, still testing. Because the tools keep getting better and the stakes — our health, our time, our clarity — are worth taking seriously.
Here’s a current example. I have Type 2 diabetes. I recently started using a CGM — a continuous glucose monitor — to track my blood sugar in real time. Not just a finger-stick reading twice a day, but a live data stream showing exactly how food, sleep, stress, and movement affect my glucose levels hour by hour. The difference in self-knowledge is remarkable. It’s like going from a weather forecast to a live radar map.
That’s the kind of technology I’ll be covering here every Friday. Tools that actually change how you live — not just gadgets that look good on a desk. Apple hardware, health tech, apps worth your time, and an honest take from someone who’s been around long enough to know the difference between a trend and a tool.
Gardener of Life launches April 6th. Friday is our Apple & Technology day. Glad you’re here.
