It’s another almost all-nighter at Casa de Vlad, another first of the month and another record profit and revenue month. Ahead of all financial goals for 2009. Eh, if it were as easy as it sounds.

First of the month in my executive office in downtown Orlando is very much like the last few minutes of an action movie. Beaten dude covered in blood and gunshot wounds drags himself up by a machine gun strap to hit the dynamite and blow up the bad guys.

My scenario is slightly different. Fatass geek, covered in dust bunnies and three day old swag undershirt, drags himself up the mountain of dead rackmounts to cross off another milestone from the whiteboard.

We are 31 days from the end of the first half and May is our official launch for the String Monkey. It’s not a new product or anything, just an internal codename for what we’ve been working on for about 6 months now and was the objective for 2009 – to finally execute all points of our business plan. But more on all that tomorrow.

Tonight, I want to thank all of you who have made OWN what it is and put us where we’re at. Thank you for working with us, advising us, guiding us, thank you for all your money. We have now posted our umpteenth record breaking quarter on both revenue and growth, and now we’re going to do something rather nice for you. Not going to be earth shattering, but it’s going to be consistent.

TTYL.
