The Simpsons Renewed, Will Pass 500 Episodes

Vulture has learned that Fox has renewed The Simpsons for a 23rd season of animated adventures, taking it through its landmark 500th episode (specifically, it takes the show up to episode 515). Word of the show’s continued production comes as The Simpsons is having a particularly buzzworthy season, what with that recent Banksy open, a Mark Zuckerberg cameo, and an upcoming Katy Perry segment with the Muppets.

Longtime Simpsons show-runner Al Jean, while psyched about the renewal, said he can’t claim to be the most excited one about the good news: “The happiest of all was the unicorn who pokes in all our DVDs,” Jean told us. “He’s getting extra hay out of this.”

First Starbucks at sea steams into Florida port

Coffee lovers looking for a bit of sea air flavor in their espresso or Frappuccino might want to sample the first Starbucks at sea, which steamed into a Florida port on Thursday on board the world’s largest cruise liner.

Seattle-based Starbucks Corp, the world famous coffee chain, already has a nautical link — its founders took the name from Starbuck, the first mate on the Pequod whaler from Nantucket that hunted the white whale, Moby Dick, in Herman Melville’s famous novel.

iPad Wireless Keyboard Portfolio Case

This is the Bluetooth keyboard that connects wirelessly to an iPad for easy typing as if using a laptop computer. The keyboard’s sensitive, rubberized keys require only the lightest touch yet will last 500 million keystrokes. An iPad slides into the keyboard’s protective sleeve, leaving the iPad’s 30-in connector free for charging, and the sleeve props up at a convenient angle for easy viewing while typing; a wrist pad unfolds for comfort.

The sleeve is made from durable synthetic leather, treated with polyurethane that resists water and dust. The keyboard’s rechargeable battery provides up to 90 hours of uninterrupted operation from a four-hour charge off a USB connection to a computer using the included cable. Folds to the size of an appointment book for transport and storage.


Mr. Beer – Home Brewer’s Beer Kit

This is the kit that provides all of the tools, ingredients, and easy-to-follow instruction to make four gallons of home-brewed craft beer. The kit includes two hopped malt extracts–an India Pale Ale (a reddish-gold hoppy ale) and a Witbier (a Belgian wheat beer with coriander and orange notes)–that are combined with the included yeast and tap water in the two-gallon fermentation tank for seven days.

A spout on the tank allows you to easily fill the eight reusable 1-liter plastic bottles, where the beer develops natural carbonation and is ready to drink in just seven days. The beer will have a 4.6% ABV (approximately) and may be bottle-conditioned for up to four months to enhance its clarity and flavor. The detailed instruction manual guides you through every stage of the brewing process, explains the role of each ingredient, and provides 18 additional recipes.

Don’t Drink and Facebook

Raise your hand if you made a mistake this weekend. Maybe sent a scathing Facebook message to an ex who broke your heart? Told everyone — via Twitter — how much you hate your boss?
