Rebirth, or Son of What Happens in Henderson

With Henderson long since in the rear-view mirror, it's time for a name change here in Upper Blogistan. For those of you new to the scene, we used to be called "What Happens in Henderson," a play on the infamous Vegas slogan, which was fitting when I lived in the Vegas suburbs from 2005-09.

We've been back in Minnesota for almost two years, and even more changes are afoot. After 18 months as the Digital Content Manager (web geek) at FOX Sports North and four more months in the glamorous world of freelance writing, I'm starting a new job tomorrow. I'll be the Senior Content Editor at a startup company called SportsData LLC. We're providing realtime NFL statistics and updated player news for media organizations that require such services. I can't tell you much about our customers just yet because, hey, I'm the new guy. But I have great hopes for this company – good people, solid funding, and a great opportunity to carve out a space in the market.

Here's a link to the corporate website – check it out if you want to learn a little more about the company.

Our offices are at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, so it'll be a nice, short commute from our home in south Minneapolis. I'll be working a regular daily shift and probably Sundays too, during the NFL season. When football's all wrapped up, we'll be turning our sights to other sports as we grow, but for now I'll be up to my nose in the NATIONAL. FOOTBALL. LEAGUE. I guess I have no excuse for not winning every one of my fantasy leagues. Pressure.

I'll have a new Twitter handle too – bye-bye @fsnorthdonnelly, hello @donnelly612. All other contact info remains the same.

So, I'm back to blogging, which means more of my random musings on sports, music, politics, kids, dumb ads and whatever else springs to mind. I welcome all correspondence, unless you're a spambot.

So, welcome to the wonderful world of What Happens in Minneapolis. Hope you enjoy the ride.
