Download Random Post Box from WordPress.org
See the plugin in use on Retrocamera.net (the little box below the first post).
Random Post Box is a WordPress plugin. It will let you place a box (div) anywhere on your blog, with templatetag or shortcode, and load random posts with an interval and fade effect. It uses jQuery (Ajax) which means that the content is loaded without loading the rest of the page. The timing can be controlled in the Admin Options-panel.
The template tag is <?php random_post_box(); ?>. You can also use the shortcode [random-post-box] in a page or post.
