So I've made the switch from my Blogspot blog to my own hosted on my own site and powered by BlogEngine.NET. It all seems to be working well, but I've had a heck of a time figuring out how to migrate my blogspot posts to here.

If anyone has any ideas or past experience, let me know. I know Wordpress has a utility for this, and BlogEngine.NET does too, but it ain't working quite right.

Worst case, I've made a clean break. The old site will just stay as is in an archive form.

Onward and upward.

All I can say is... wow and cool. If only I had the money! Our media room is functional and nice by most people's standards, but these are extraordinary.

Star Trek, Star Wars, the Creature from the Black Lagoon... like I said, cool.

The Tower of Marlowe has been deserted, left to stand as a silent bastion, not to have its parapets nor its winding stairs nor shadowed halls frequented again.

Instead, welcome to my new blog, now residing alongside my web site. I dropped the Tower moniker in favor of my own humble name. I like the clean design, of which I can take no credit for, and the ease by which I was able to customize it to my tastes and needs. The site is based on blogengine.net, an open source ASP.NET application with a back-end written in C#. It's extremely easy to setup and modify, though it currently only has a small number of themes to choose from. I intend to apply my programming skills to keep things running; hopefully I don't throw too many wrenches into the works as I experiment.

Take a look around and let me know what you think. It'll be a day or two before I move my blogspot posts over, though I intend to keep the Tower of Marlowe "as is" for the foreseeable future.
