Choosing Drawing Exercises

Dear Random.org,

It's interesting how many times I want to choose something at random. It's nice to have a source to do just that. I've been using your generator to choose a random drawing exercise from my drawing prompt book. Sometimes my creativity needs a little priming. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

Sincerely,

Seeding Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo Simulations

I write and use molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulators which have their own pseudo-random number generators (for portability and reproducibility). These require the user to input a random number seed. If I want to perform an ensemble of N statistically independent runs (e.g., with different initial conditions), I need N independent seeds. So I use your site to generate seeds to paste into my input script, i.e., your random generator generates random seeds for input to a pseudo-random generator. Say that 5 times fast.
