Although I mostly post about parallel programming, my background is in algorithms and data structures. I have a soft spot for sorting algorithms. It probably started when I did some research into adaptive sorting as part of my coursework. Anyway, someone added sound to visualizations of different sorting algorithms. I'm not sure if it really helps explain the algorithms any better, but it does make them more interesting to watch.
