Oh, hell, just take a shot of the back of the lens cap every so often 
(at high ISO), You'll get plenty of quantum randomness there. Or, 
amplify an idle input from the sound card to a great extent. More 
randomness, there, or a radio tuner tuned to a non-station, and use the 
universe as your source of randomness.  Plenty of sources. :)
