I had one of those moments today, a couple walk, jog or run past our home every day from spring to autumn. However, they're never talking with each other, they always have their faces buried in their cell phones. It got me thinking, why go for a walk, jog or run with someone if you're not really doing it with them? It looks wrong, so is this a moment to address my own cell phone usage?

There cannot be a parent on this planet who hasn't done the "oh no" the batteries are flat act to their child. Why? because even the most amazing toys with sound become annoying. The children get over the lack of sound and continue to use their imagination. Does that make me a bad parent?

Jut some thoughts following #IABC19 in Vancouver.

How should we bring back meaning to relationships online?

What’s going on? Giant Trump baby floats above London and pointless digital animals come back to die again.

Thanks for hitting play. Just a few thoughts on childhood, conferences and podcasts.

Software is sometimes too smart for its own good. Also whilst I am here, I want to get your thoughts at selling at all costs...does it work?

Hooray! IABC have given us the green light for the new international podcast. Counting down to California and the UK.

A ramble about our holidays, plans for Long Beach and things to do in Los Angeles. #iabc #losangeles

Mike Wolsfeld and I were guests on CBC radio across the province and the separately on the local CBC Saskatoon breakfast show. We chatted about tech, incubators, investment and collaboration. It was a wonderful experience and the team at CBC could not have been more hospitable. Thank you. Published under fair use.

This November I shall release a podcast of my visit to Belgium with my Uncle Ivor to the grave of my Great Uncle Jack. I will share the sights and sounds of Ypres and the Menin Gate.

So many times people register a domain name against the card address which is often the home address of the card holder. Don't do it. Here's how to fix it.

Wow - it's OK to bash working mums. I didn't realise that it's OK. Read article on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/should-maternal-child-neglect-marketing-tool-just-dan-gold-mprca #parenting #opinion #workingmums #motherhood

I really admire and like a person with whom I am connected with on LinkedIn, but a comment made me sit up and pay attention.

My good friend Judy asked if I would like to be on the radio to be a part of a world weather feature. Southampton is a long way from Saskatoon (4000) odd miles. It sounded like fun and it certainly was... Have a listen... Thanks to BBC Solent.

Our daughter has started to find her voice, so I took some time out from the office to capture this wonderful sound.

We've all got an eye on privacy, especially with social networking. However many people that have registered a domain name have not elected to purchase privacy protection or similar. This means that the details of the registrant including name, address and email is available on a public whois search.

Stop, step back and listen to the world around you. Pick up a book and experience the escape to somewhere else. Today I went to my son's nursery and read a couple of stories to the children there. It's probably one of the most inspiring things that I have done in the last few years. Let me explain. As the book's printed words were absorbed by my eyes, the imagination nested behind them, created an atmosphere which enabled me to enter the world of the authors. Adult Readers often over look the value of a good childrens book as simple literature, but if a book for the younger end of the market is not engaging, it's game over from the start. The one thing that we cannot afford as a society, is to allow the levels of literacy to fall. The future of the next generation and their opportunities in life start from the early days of reading. When you see how a toddler looks at a parent, guardian or playgroup leader whilst they're being

For a few years I said that the ideal length web video for a retail brand was 3 minutes, then (based on analytics) we saw that consumers were only really watching the first 90 seconds. So the advice changed to create shorter, higher impact videos. NOW, analytics are showing that (in most cases) videos of 60 seconds are the ideal length for people. So what are the reasons behind this? 1. Mobile - with the desktop and laptop market shrinking, more people are consuming video on mobile devices such as phones and tablets. The simplicity of search and play is creating a flick to the next behaviour. 2. Environment - whilst people are watching video content on the move, we have to take in to account the noises and distractions happening off device. We can deal with a few things within the video - clean audio at good levels and uncomplicated clear visuals. When creating text to appear in-vision, take in to account that the person watching may have an iPhone, so make it of a size that

"450 Years of experience" What nonsense! I couldn't care less. This combination figure is irrelevant. You may have 250 members of staff or a 1000+ on the team. Want to know something? it means nothing, no one is buying it and it doesn't add to credibility. If you're scraping around for that to be in the top 10 reasons why people should work with you. Stop, delete and think of something compelling! So far my wife and I have in excess of 72 years of breathing experience. The only figure that is impressive in terms of years is when you talk about the launch of the company. eg Est 1857 or getting people involved in a new venture. www.dangoldmedia.com www.twitter.com/dangoldmedia

With the announcement coming tomorrow, I wanted to give you a little something today. You may notice the step change in the audio quality...Lack of external noise, Reduced hiss and a new location to record in...How's that for a tease?

Wow, it's been a crazy few months, thanks for being a part of my journey. I've got a few new projects on the way which I can't tell you about just yet... I have just completed a Social Media Marketing course at the University of the Arts London. It's added my knowledge and experience, so I am fully enthused for the future. It's also highlighted how important data is and not only Google Analytics. I've developed a new website (dangoldmedia.com) for you to see more of what I have worked on over the years. A very big thank you to my colleagues for being awesome over the years. And finally there is news of a new podcast produced in New York and London. You'll be the first to know about it!

The tide is turning in North American radio where podcasts are being picked up and becoming broadcast radio shows. Will UK music radio get left behind? More talk stations in the US are moving from AM to FM as music stations fail to compete with streaming services.

Where are the best eateries in Saskatchewan? Places where people mingle on lunch and enjoy cafe culture. Oh and I recorded this at 6:06 on 06/06!

Following the conclusion of a high profile celebrity's court case for DUI. We had a phone in asking people just how unacceptable drinking and driving is.

At an awesome event, I caught up with Professor Green where he spoke about the Meatloaf, the album, and drinking water??

I love the #audioboo #community and think it would be amazing to have a #gathering in London (or other location) to share experiences, techniques and have a #social! Let me know if you're interested. Music - Creative Commons: Scott McLean - In The Glow of the Moon

I chatted with Martin Cravan from The Outsiders, an organisation promoting sexual health & well being within the physically disabled community and so much more. They do fantastic work and I hope you support them...www.theoutsiders.org.uk Let me know if you have used their services and what you think of their offering. The internet is a great leveller and I look forward to hearing from you.

Are they a boost for business or a shot in the foot for employees? Could they negatively affect growth? What are the morals of zero hour contracts and what will unions do in the long term? #discuss
