With rakeback I shipped right around $2.5k.
I'm also going to be staking/coaching a friend starting at 10NL, so I'll be writing an article later on an area in which he needs improvement. Stay tuned.

September Goals
My month is off to a decent start. Holiday Monday's session was poor, though it ended up marginally positive. Since then I've had +5 and +2 BI short sessions, which combined with my $1.2k milestone bonus and rakeback from the ~10k hands I've played makes for a decent chunk of change.
One thing I've noticed is that when I'm posting a solid winrate, I am playing looser and stealing more blinds. During my stretch of running terribly during late July and almost all of August, I tightended up and stole one hell of a lot less, which obviously hurt my winrate.
With that in mind, I'm only going to have two real goals for the month:
1) Play 150k+ hands.
I managed nearly 200k last month, but due to video game releases and (hopefully) not running as bad, 150k this month should be a good challenge.
2) VPIP > 13, PFR > 10, ATS > 28
I think I am definitely more profitable when I open looser from position, and these stats will reflect that I am keeping this in mind.
Unofficial 3) Make five figures of profit
Since this is partially determined by luck I'm not going to make it an official goal, but it is definitely something I've been hoping to accomplish. If I do 1) and 2) it is not entirely unreasonable.

Milestones Are Good
I hit my first milestone bonus of the year yesterday, at 200k VPPs. What this effectively means is that I get a free $1200, which is a nice start to my September.
Why isn't it $2000 you ask, when that is the bonus amount? Each milestone bonus costs 50,000 FPPs, which is worth $800 when converted to cash buying the $4k boni available at Supernova. Thus, our $2000 bonus actually costs us $800, making the first milestone worth $1.2k total. I should end up clearing the 300k milestone bonus ($2.2k free money) in mid to late October, and the 400k ($3.2k free money) in early to mid December. Good times.

August Review - All's Well That Ends Well?
I'm not going to talk too much about my month as a whole, because I've probably bitched enough as it is. The cliffnotes are basically that I ran terribly for the first 28 days of August. Thankfully, during the last three days I went on a significant heater that, in combination with my disgusting volume (and thus, massive rakeback earnings) allowed me to set a new personal best for monthly profit.
Here is my winnings graph. Note that the spike from around hand 175k on all happened between Friday the 29th and Sunday the 31st.
Here's the PT table. The winrate sucks, and I played a ridiculous amount of hands. Yay for 24 tabling!
The bottom line:
$3279 cash winnings + $80 donkament winnings (weekly Supernova freeroll, yay) + *$4138 rakeback = $7497 total.
*73895 VPPs x 3.5 FPPs/VPP x 1.6c/FPP = $4138 rakeback
Ship the new personal best month. Here's hoping for a better September where winnings > rakeback.
