You can make a query_post with shiffle like this :
<?php shuffle(query_posts('author=1')); ?>
or random
<?php query_posts('author=1&orderby=rand'); ?>
or other random
<?php query_posts(array('author' => '1', 'orderby' => 'rand')); ?>

Remove cat=xx& from code, from place you want to randomize it.
xx = number of category.
