Welcome to The Quantified Porch Series

* I’ve been tracking things. More things than I expected to, honestly.

Blood glucose. Steps. Sleep. What I eat, when I eat it, how much. Heart rate variability – which I couldn’t have defined two years ago and now check most mornings.

At some point I looked at the devices on my wrist and nightstand and thought – there’s a lot going on here. Worth talking about.

So that’s what Fridays are for now. The Quantified Porch – a running conversation about the technology I’m actually using to track health, food, and movement. What works, what doesn’t, what surprised me, and what I’m still figuring out.

No lab coats. No sales pitch. Just one person with too many apps and enough curiosity to keep asking questions.

Pull up a chair.

These are observations from one retired dirt farmer — not prescriptions.

William questions everything, including his own opinions.

Curiosity and humility over authority and certainty.

The reader is always the final decision-maker.
