+Readable string for coupon codes or auth tokens, something people can read/write and do not confuse.
+
+ - more information density than hex -> shorter codes
+ - less confusion than base64 -> readable codes
+
+Install
+=======
+ - As Rails plugin: ` script/plugin install git://github.com/grosser/readable_random.git `
+ - As gem: ` sudo gem install grosser-readable_random --source http://gems.github.com `
+
+Usage
+=====
+    ReadableRandom.get(5) -> 'aB23r'
+
+    # user.rb
+    def generate_token
+      while token.blank? or User.find_by_token(token)
+        self.token = ReadableRandom.get(6)
+      end
+    end
+
+TODO
+====
+ - prevent nasty words by not using vovels or a more clever tick...
