Random information on the term “Garden ornament”:
A bird bath (or birdbath) is an artificial puddle or small shallow pond, created with a water-filled basin, in which birds may drink, bathe, and cool themselves. A bird bath can be a garden ornament, small reflecting pool, outdoor sculpture, and part of creating a vital wildlife garden.
A bird bath is an attraction for many different species of birds to visit gardens, especially during the summer and drought periods. Bird baths that provide a reliable source of water year round add to the popularity and “micro-habitat” support.
Bird baths can be pre-made basins on pedestals and columns or hang from leaves and trees, or be carved out depressions in rocks and boulders. Requirements include: a shallow gradually deepening basin; open surroundings to minimize cats’ stalking; clean and renewed-refilled water; and cleaning to avoid contamination and mosquitoes. Two inches of water in the center is sufficient for most backyard birds, because they do not submerge their bodies, only dipping their wings to splash water on their backs. Deeper or wide basins can have “perch islands” in the water, which can also help discourage feline predators. Elevation on a pedestal is a common safety measure, providing a clear area around the bird bath that is free of hiding locations for predators. A bird feeder can complement a bird bath to encourage birds to linger and return.
Random information on the term “GNOME”:
Worse is better, also called New Jersey style, was conceived by Richard P. Gabriel in an essay “Worse is better” to describe the dynamics of software acceptance, but it has broader application. It is the idea that quality does not necessarily increase with functionality—that there is a point where less functionality (“worse”) is a preferable option (“better”) in terms of practicality and usability. Software that is limited, but simple to use, may be more appealing to the user and market than the reverse.
As to the oxymoronic title, Gabriel calls it a caricature, declaring the style bad in comparison with “The Right Thing”. However he also states that “it has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing” development style and is superior to the “MIT Approach” with which he contrasted it in the original essay.
Gabriel was a Lisp programmer when he formulated the concept in 1989, presenting it in his essay “Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big”. A section of the article, titled “The Rise of ‘Worse is Better'”, was widely disseminated beginning in 1991, after Jamie Zawinski found it in Gabriel’s files at Lucid Inc. and e-mailed it to friends and colleagues.
