Two ideas
Stanford Law School has started a brand new journal dedicated to criminal law, the Stanford Journal of Criminal Law and Policy. I had the honor not only of speaking at their symposium, but my article Narcotics Prosecutors as Problem Solvers is the lead article in their first issue-- the cite is 1 Stan. J. of Crim. L. & Pol'y 1 (2014). Not that it means much-- I think that articles in the same issue by Erik Luna and Ron Wright/Kay Levine/Marc Miller are more significant. Still, I appreciate everything the people at Stanford did!
Also this week I wrote a (much shorter) Hallowee-themed piece for the Huffington Post called The 5 Scariest Teachings of Jesus that somehow entered a social media wormhole and ended up with 6,400 likes on Facebook (and 600+ angry comments). Many readers of that piece wrote to me directly. Some of their notes were helpful and interesting, while others were just... interesting.
