An Idea : Create random order.

In creating a collection of similar objects, be they a series of designs, or works of art, or even products for a market, a challenge one could face is to engineer and create a subtle variance in each object. Specifically, create an ordered series of objects that, although similar in form and/or function, differ radically from the next.
 
These variations, either obvious or nearly imperceptible, are required for creating a genuine touch and feel. Most importantly, they impart a unique DNA into the object that makes it truly yours.
 
Example: If someone presented you with two identical iPods - both filled with the exact same music - which one would you choose? And, is that particular iPod really the one you wanted?
 
I can't even answer that question aside from maybe saying, "I really don't care."  But, am I lying to myself?
