take a look at SGI's lava lamp random number generator for some ideas.
the description (if memory serves, converting images of a lavalamp into
numbers) should be in the SGI patent. also watch for www.lavarand.org for
the next version.

highway cams. oh, i better go patent that, trademark "trafrand" and write
a journal paper about it. :-P]
