I published the screencast of this about two weeks ago:

Cross platform Akonadi video

I also wrote and screencasted another use of the python api with javascript to get the pim data into a web browser and maintain it there.

Akonadi goes Web 2.0

More interesting stuff coming out of this area later.

Graph API

Wrote a script to learn a bit about the Facebook Graph API and decided to make a blog post about it, probably a bit wall-of-text-esque and not very interesting but I was bored :P.
