Jul 12, 2013 at 6:43 comment added Karl Schwede Great! I guess the other way to do this is to deal with some sort of multicative system sheaf, form that product, and then take sheafy Spec.
Jul 12, 2013 at 3:59 comment added DavidWayne I agree that this description of the localization makes the most sense geometrically, but I was having a hard time with the algebra in my argument. After reading more, I used what you said about localization commuting with the Rees algebra formation. Let $S=R-\mathfrak{m}$. Then $S$ is included into $R[\mathfrak{m}t]$ as $St^0$, and $R_{\mathfrak{m}}[\mathfrak{m}_{\mathfrak{m}}t] =R_S[\mathfrak{m}_St]=R[\mathfrak{m}t]_{St^0}$. Using this, it is more obvious to me exactly how blowups commute with localization, and I have an idea of how the details of the original question should work out.
Jul 11, 2013 at 22:11 comment added Karl Schwede Probably the best way to do it is as follows. Form the Cartesian product: $$Bl_m(X) \times_X \text{Spec} R_{\mathfrak m}.$$ It's not exactly localization in the usual sense.
Jul 11, 2013 at 21:50 comment added DavidWayne This is sort of what I was thinking, but I wasn't totally convinced by my train of thought. To clarify, when we say that the blowup commutes with localization, we mean something like $Bl_{\mathfrak{m}_{\mathfrak{m}}}(R_{\mathfrak{m}})=Bl_{\mathfrak{m}}(X)_{f^{-1}(\mathfrak{m})}$ which is the localization of the blowup at the exceptional fiber? Or is it the localization at the fiber over $\mathfrak{m}$ in the strict transform?
