So many blogs, so little time. If you feel like the blogosphere is passing you by, check out Regator, a new app that culls the Web’s best posts.

An offshoot of the eponymous Web service, Regator (agg-regator, get it?) differs from traditional RSS feed readers in that it doesn’t rely on you to choose the blogs you want to follow.

Instead, the app employs “qualified human editors” to bring you “topical, well-written, frequently updated, and relevant” posts. In other words, the cream of the blogosphere crop, at least according to these guys.

You can browse the posts any number of ways, starting with “popular” items from the Web at large or looking within a couple dozen specific topics (from Academics to “What the?”).

Regator also provides a full directory of more than 500 topics, so you can really drill into the areas that interest you most. (Beekeeping? Check. Museums? Check.)

As useful as information found on the Internet can be, at times, it’s also frustratingly myopic, resulting in moments when you have to take matters into your own hands.

Recently, my fiancee pleaded with me to start turning my PlayStation 3 off when it’s not in use. Since the red standby light was on, she contended, the unit must be drawing significantly more power than if the unit was simply switched off via the power switch on the back.

Having just tested a couple dozen monitors as part of a CNET power consumption project, I felt I knew a bit about this and explained to her that the difference between standby and off was minuscule at best and that the savings for a whole year would be less than five bucks at the most.

That "1.5434" number represents the wattage average for the PS3 in standby. Pay no attention to the other numbers!

She remained adamant, and since I couldn’t prove my point outright at that moment–and didn’t feel like an argument–I let her win and said I’d start switching it off.

Unfortunately for her, I sometimes see compromising as losing–and I hate to lose.

So the next day I pursued the matter, as standby was too important to me to just give up on. Having your PS3 in standby lets you turn it on from the controller. The laziness in me couldn’t let this slide, so I told my fiancee I’d prove that when the PS3 is on standby it draws, at the most, only slightly more power than when it’s off.
