Hardrock, Coco, and Joe, The Three Little Dwarfs

On December 18, 1956, WGN-TV’s “Garfield Goose and Friends” introduced Chicago area children to Santa Claus’ three favorite elves, Hardrock, Coco and Joe. At two-feet-high, Hardrock drove Santa’s sleigh while Coco navigated and Joe tagged along for fun. To create the animated short or “song cartoonette”, Hill & Range Songs hired Centaur Productions. The company was established in the early 1950s by Wah Ming Chang, a sculptor in Walt Disney’s Effects and Model Department who created the model of Pinocchio; and George Pal, a producer and Academy Award nominee. The shorts were produced in black-and-white using stop-motion animation, a cinematic process that brings figures or puppets to life by minutely reposing and photographing them frame-by-frame, resulting as fluid movement on screen.

though i’m not paranoid, i do have a fairly solid backup regime for all my photos, projects, and my meticulously ripped music collection. on a regular basis (no later than once every two weeks), i run a few batch scripts that first rsync important parts of my C drive (mainly my firefox and thunderbird profile folders, as well as my main windows user account folder) to the internal 1TB drive, and then rsync that whole drive to the 1TB external USB backup drive. (if i WAS paranoid i’d then take that USB drive to a remote location and rotate it with another USB drive…but i’m not quite there yet)

for rsyncing on windows i use the excellent cwRsync, but modified with UTF-8 cygwin dll to handle files/folders with non-latin characters.
