After I posted about the Jimmy Kimmel prank in which he encouraged parents to film their kids getting “bad” presents<\/a>, I had the opportunity to inform a\u00a0New York Times <\/em>article about the subject. \u00a0I discussed\u00a0the social rules of the Christmas gift-giving<\/a> (and the importance of teaching kids how to be the butt of a joke). \u00a0My first time in the NYT<\/em>. w00t!<\/p>\n

Also, I’m proud to report that a paper I co-wrote with Caroline Heldman has been published in a new book titled\u00a0Sex For Life: From Virginity to Viagra, How Sexuality Changes Throughout Our Lives<\/a>\u00a0(e<\/em>dited by Laura Carpenter and John DeLamater, and published by NYU Press). \u00a0Our chapter is about first-year college students experiences with hook up culture. \u00a0You can get a sneak peak here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pinterest!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the holiday I went sort of bonkers and decided to start up a Pinterest site for SocImages. \u00a0Pinterest<\/a> is a virtual “pin board” where people can collect images from around the web. \u00a0I uploaded our entire archive to the site<\/a>: 4,002 posts and 8,040 images. \u00a0It will let you peruse our images much more quickly. If anything inspires, you can click through to the blog to read the analysis. \u00a0These are the “boards” we have so far:<\/p>\n
