Chile is like a giant laboratory for unstable winds. When the jet stream crosses the Pacific, it slams into the Andes at an almost perfect right angle. On the Chilean side, the climate is sunny, stable, and dry. On the Argentinean side, fierce winds rise and fall above the peaks in mountain waves, tossing up rows of thin white clouds like foamy crests. In winter, the air below the peaks can plunge into the Uco Valley, in a stifling zonda wind. The sudden compression generates terrific heat, sending temperatures above a hundred degrees in Mendoza, Argentina. “It is very psychologically difficult,” Roberto Rondanelli, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Chile, told me, when we met in Santiago. “People get crazy in Mendoza.”

My favourite thing of all, though, is when people have fun with the differing perspective that RSS gives you on the web. Dave Rupert runs an "RSS Club", where members pledge to publish stuff to their feeds that never appears anywhere else — a secret, just for those in the know. Many use it for more personal writing, or works in progress, or art that they don't want to expose to the whole internet yet. Somehow, still using RSS, which is a beautifully simple bit of tech from the early days of the web, makes you part of a community of like-minded strangers. When I've spent hours scrolling through my never-ending stream of text that nobody else ever sees, I feel a warm glow when I come across something that was written just for me.
