Dan Goding of Wired News wrote a beautiful article on media players that randomize. I have always run into the same problem where the playlist always seem to be predictable or not properly randomized. Songs by the same artist or from the same album often appear closer to each other than they should be. In some cases, an artist is even repeated twice or more when there is ample room for other...

I drove for about 35 minutes - averaging about 90 mph - and hung out for a while, had some intelligent conversations with the friend's mom and she got the green light....
RE: Club ParadiseI know calling this event club paradise is a little bit much considering I only met a girl. But hey, whatever. Anyway, before we left the club, she gave me her email address, so when I got home, I sent her a text message from my phone. I was a cute little message, so at around 8am, she started emailing back to my phone. I realized after the second message that I was receiving...
