Round-up from Great Thinkers

From that title, I will admit right off the bat that there is nothing here from me. I am going on vacation for a week. A real one. No laptop, the cell phone turned off, maybe checking e-mail once at an Internet cafe if I can break away from the bar or the beach long enough. There will probably be one more post on here at some point that I’ve future-posted from the past, but as I’ve said many times before, it is best to leave home at home when you travel…

Seth Godin, one of my favorite great thinkers, explains why everyone hates the legacy airlines but everyone is smiling at Disney World . And as Arthur Frommer notes on his blog that only a chump buys theme park tickets at the theme park.

Timothy Ferriss channels Dr. Stuart Friedman to look scientifically at why work/life balance is stupid way to look at life and how focusing on what matters blows apart the whole “time management” silliness.

Antonia Malchik goes off on all the crummy traveling with kids articles in magazines and gives the lowdown on what really works with a curious baby not yet one.

Leif Pettersen tells us how to spot a guidebook writer .

Jason Wilson gives us the lowdown on the state of magazine “lifestyle articles” and how one magazine removed all references to his wife in an article. (Article found via World Hum .)

On Tripso, an anonymous flight attendant goes ballistic.

OK, maybe that last one isn’t a great thinker. But she’s great at spouting off, and that’s a talent too.
