Change of address

My favorite part about reading -- or at least browsing -- through a happy ton of news and information each day is the discovery of sweet little gems like the Micronesian island of Niue. I suddenly have a desperate desire to live in a place whose name translates as "Behold the Coconut."

Google’s Digitized Book Project Hinges on a Retro Kind of Search - NYTimes.com: "So far, more than 200 advertisements have run in more than 70 languages: in highbrow periodicals like The New York Review of Books and The Poetry Review in Britain; in general-interest publications like Parade and USA Today; in obscure foreign trade journals like China Copyright and Svensk Bokhandel; and in newspapers in places like Fiji, Greenland, the Falkland Islands, and the Micronesian island of Niue (the name is roughly translated as Behold the Coconut!), which has one newspaper."
