Not sure what my total count with rakeback and everything is, probably around 15.5k. Really would've liked to follow up my August god-mode run with at least 20k but wisdom teeth removal kept me out for a week, and for the past week I've also been in San Francisco attending some conferences like TechCrunch Disrupt which "gathers both Web innovators disrupting media and technology and also executives successfully navigating disruption to talk about turning change into opportunity."
In other words I got to watch people like Eric Schmidt CEO of google, Peter Thiel, Barry Diller, and other billionaires deliver awesome and informative speeches, and got to see a bunch of new tech startups demo their products some of which are honestly mindblowing. The one that won the startup competition (and 50k), qwiki.com, doesn't have a demo online yet but it's basically like the search engine from the movie Wall-E where you get an information experience rather than just reading text on a webpage. The other one I liked was www.cloudflare.com which if you own a website, will make your website run faster and more secure, for free. The other conference, CrowdConf (on crowdsourcing) is on Monday where I hope to meet my hero Tim Ferriss (author of the Four Hour Work Week).
I really liked TechCrunch Disrupt, gained a ton of inspiration, motivation, and direction. I'm not sure what I want to end up creating in my life after poker but it's likely going to be in the realm of tech (although I have no formal dev training at all). If you're in the same alley feel free to pm me we can talk, especially if you're an actual software engineer/developer/etc. 
Poker-wise, still a bit shy of my pure-100k graph - Really wanted to put that up this month I'm only a few Gs away. Going to try to put in more hands in October, coach Sanai who won the free coaching offer. Overall if I can make 150k this year I'm going to be pretty happy (though I set a pretty farfetched 200k goal when the year started), especially considering how few hands I have on the year. It really just makes you think that if you put in 2x the time and 2x the hands (or any other amount), how much more money you'd be making and how that stacks up with the rest of the world. I could be making bottom range CEO money if I played poker at full-time hours probably, but that would never happen because I'd hate life tremendously and it's impossible for me to sustain quality poker play for that long consistently. Pretty low-content blog post so I'll end it with this sweet hand: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/861379 ship the free PS3

Sick sick sick. Those conferences sound very interesting... is there a cost to attend/spectate? |

TCD was 3k (2k for early-bird and startups demoing), 200 for students, but i got in free doing a small amount of volunteer work.
Crowdconf is 450, 350 for early bird. |

3/6 and 5/10 make up a lot of the first half of the graph, when the graph starts thinning out thats 2/4 |
