Here is a video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RURjQe0BAFQ

The video is a slow, soft-spoken reading of random numbers, courtesy of Random.org's integer generator. I was pleased to receive the following comment in response, from fellow YouTube creator ChillWhispers: “This is very relaxing. I enjoy the random order of the numbers, that way I don't ‘expect’ it to end. Your voice is very soothing.”

That was pretty much the effect I was hoping to achieve.

Thank you again for clarifying Random.org's terms and conditions for me. I was thrilled to be able to make this video.

Thanks for being awesome,

I am using the random sequence generator to take a 15% sample of the archaeological potsherds I am studying. More specifically, I am studying the ceramic vessels and fragments collected, over the course of eight years, from an early Spanish colonial town in Central America. The town was occupied for only a generation, so there was minimal change through time in ceramic style. For each excavation unit and level, I analyze all potsherds that include handles, rims, painted decoration, unusual clay characteristics, and the like. These are my diagnostic sherds. The remainder do not provide enough information to make analyzing and recording each one individually worthwhile, but I don't want to neglect them entirely, as in certain contexts they make up a high percentage of what we have. So, I use your random sequence generator to help me select 15% of this non-diagnostic remainder for study. Thank you for the help.
