Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Used this to track down a crazy JS bug one time. Still makes me smile.
var eventColors = {
mouseover: 'red',
mouseout: 'blue',
click: 'yellow'
}
var highlight = function(event) {
Event.stop(event);
element = Event.element(event);
Element.setStyle(element, {backgroundColor: eventColors[event.type]});
