The Hockey Uniform Database
Welcome to the Hockey Uniform Database, the all-new NHLUniforms.com. As you can see, I have made several changes to the site -- way too many to list here. For starters, by very popular demand, there is now a way to search the history of uniforms by team in addition to by season. Also, by popular demand, the images, all of which have been redone, now display a tad larger. The teams are to the left; the seasons are to the right. Surf away!

Octavo Editions Tour
Introduced shortly after the invention of printing from movable type, the octavo was the first format developed specifically for creating portable, mass-produced, low-cost books. At the same time, Renaissance thinkers believed they could elevate the individual dignity and worth of great numbers of people by disseminating the long-hidden ideas of classical Greek authors. The work of these thinkers and printers changed the world forever: They brought the great ideas of the past to light in the present; and, in doing so, inspired innovation and growth in virtually every area of human knowledge and experience. Today, Octavo exists to serve the same ideal. Our purpose is to use the best in advanced technology to uncover and enhance the seminal ideas of the past in ways that will provide inspiration for the present and future. Through our published editions, Octavo facilitates preservation and enables discovery for a wide range of audiences.

Images of History on the Web
"In the years since photography's sesquicentennial anniversary (1839-1989), the growth of the Internet and the application of digital technology to the history of this one-time analog medium has given researchers an unprecedented glimpse into our collective past. The reaction to the French public announcement in August 1839 of L.J.M. Daguerre's photographic process, named in his honor the daguerreotype, deeply affected — and still does — human consciousness. With good reason. The daguerreotype was referred to as "the mirror of nature." Much like software and hardware changes today, rapid advances in photographic technology often steamrolled the competition. The introduction of photography on the world scene is often compared with the public's adoption of the Internet as a new communications and artistic medium. In an essay on the impact of photography, eerily prescient of late 20th century French postmodernists, the 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire wrote, "...I am convinced that the ill-applied developments of photography, like all other purely material developments of progress, have contributed much to the impoverishment of the French artistic genius, which is already so scarce" ("Photography" [1859], Charles Baudelaire, in Photography: Essays & Images, edited by Beaumont Newall, 1980; online French transcription, "Le public moderne et la photographie," http://baudelaire.zy-va.com).
