Founder and CEO of RANDOM.ORG and Haunted Planet Studios; Professor in Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin.

Random.org is a website that produces random numbers based on atmospheric noise. In addition to generating random numbers in a specified range and subject to a specified probability distribution, which is the most commonly done activity on the site, it has free tools to simulate events such as flipping coins, shuffling cards, and rolling dice. It also offers paid services to generate longer sequences of random numbers and act as a third-party arbiter for raffles, sweepstakes, and promotions. Random.org is distinguished from pseudo-random number generators, which use mathematical formulae to produce random-appearing numbers. .. more

Last week, Musicon saw a stunning performance of @hauntedplanet.com's reality art. @svetlanarudenko.bsky.social performed her music alongside Prokofiev and Butterworth's, with @kellyjakubowski.bsky.social playing violin and @madshaahr.bsky.social demonstrating dreamlike graphics from an MR headset.

Exactly today, RANDOM.ORG has been providing true random numbers to humanity for 27 years 🥳🎈🎉 It took five months for the Internet Archive to find us, but here is what we looked like back then: web.archive.org/web/19990117...
