Bit late with this whole wave (a bunch of people did this on Planet GNOME sometime last year) but I came across it again on John Fleck’s blog recently:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
The nearest book to me is The UML Reference Manual (Rumbaugh / Jacobson / Booch).
We expect that editing tools will extend the notation to a screen format, including such things as the use of fonts and color to highlight items; the ability to easily suppress and filter items that are not currently of interest, to zoom into a diagram to show nested elements, to traverse hot links to other models or views; and animation.
