Npm: module.js: 457 throw err; Error: cannot find "npmlog" module on mac using brew

Question

I made a mistake (?) In the following instructions on the npm launch page and ran

sudo npm install npm -g

Now, no matter what I do, any npm execution results in this error, regardless of whether I run it as sudo or not. Removing and reinstalling node did not help.

$ sudo npm

module.js:457
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog'

I am on a mac and am installing node using homebrew.
