I think this is the best info we have, thus far...

“Initial reports are that the pilot might be Joseph Andrew Stack, a software engineer. His wife Cheryl and his daughter were rescued from the burning home. ...”

While it probably isn’t organized terrorism, it is a terrorist act. It was designed to hit a visible, relevant target — that’s terrorism in my book.

I suppose that's true. But it's in the same category as every kook who has shot up bosses, coworkers, etc. to "get even" with everyone who "done him wrong".

He went postal and used a plane instead of a gun. It wasn't in the same class as Islamofascist terrorism. Call it 2nd degree instead of 1st degree...

That's my take.

It was peddle operated, black camouflage.

A threatening letter was found on United flight to Denver, now diverted to Salt Lake and grounded until passengers can be re-screened.

Something else is going on.

Wife and daughter are lucky to be alive. We had a local guy take his children with him when he wrecked the plane intentionally.

N2889D is registered to a Joseph A Stack in Lincoln, CA.

But, the only Joseph A Stack that is in the pilot registry has rotorcraft ratings. He has no airplane ratings. But, there's also no address in the public records.

I suspect this is a stolen plane.

according to this source:

Joseph Andrew Stack has been identified as the pilot who crashed into the Austin Government building. Reports are surfacing that prior to taking off, he set his own house on fire, plus he had an ongoing feud with the IRS – the government agency located in the building in which the plan crashed.

Who knows? Could have been a random targeted act of intentional suicide/murder.

KXAN says neighbors rescued woman and daughter from burning Austin home.

KXAN also IDs owner as Joseph Stack who might’ve stolen plane that later crashed. The type (Cessna?) is consistent with what crashed into the IRS building.
