It's definitely not an organized attack. I'm guessing one guy trying to make a statement.
His statement seems to be, "I can't afford better explosives nor do I understand how timers work."
A further statement seems to be, "I don't get how blast radius works." The more I think about it, I doubt this dude is a foreign psycho. If you're committed enough to get to another country to blow it up, you've probably put in enough research to maximize your blow-up-ability.

Heard a good line yesterday... "We need to figure out who did this soon so I know whether I need to prepare to be defensive about it."
If it is a left winger or not-white person, then dems get defensive. If it is another Tim McVeigh or a tea partier, then republicans have to be defensive.
Which is a sad statement about the mentality of this country.

Edit: NY Posting images of who they think are the bombers. Seems unlikely.

Yeah, but I've yet to see anything conclusive linking them to the bombing other than:
1) one of them may or may not have had a backpack and then mysteriously didn't have one
2) they're brown, so ... terrorists

Dude in blue says not me.
Which is exactly what you would expect the bomber to say...

Salah Barhoun, 17, said he went to the police yesterday to clear his name after he found himself tagged in pictures online. He had just gone to watch the race, he said, but soon after the explosions, he was singled out by internet sleuths as looking <s>suspicious</s> brown and angry.

Phil Mudd, former intelligence advisor for the FBI, told ABC News that in America's new normal where nearly everything is somehow documented, civilian cameras and tips hardly hinder the investigation.
"Here it's not the problem this causes law enforcement, it's the opportunity," Mudd said. "When we narrow in on somebody... we now can put it out there [and] there will be millions of people who become investigators."
I'm sure those millions are eminently qualified to do that.

Originally from Chechnya, but living in the United States since five years, Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."
Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

Muslim Caucasians. Nobody saw that one coming.

Nah, I think the media is going to be pissed.
-They're foreigners.
-They're Muslim
-I've already seen a picture of one of the suspects wearing a Che Guevara shirt

Bomb the USA to free Chechnya from Russia?
Ok... I see holes in the logic.
Edit: But Chechnya is where (terror group) would probably go to get Caucasian operatives. Fuck.

Granted, I was talking about one white dude and one non-white dude, not 50/50 on both.

The father of suspected Boston Marathon bomber called on his son today to give up peacefully, but warned the U.S. that if his son is killed "all hell will break loose."
Anzor Tsarnaev spoke to ABC News from his home in the Russian city of Makhachkala as Boston police carried out an intense dragnet for his son Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Um.... hell already broke loose, cuz your son is a piece of shit.

The elder Tsarnaev insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully."
"Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia," the dad said.
The father warned, however, "If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."
"If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame," the father told ABC News. "Someone, some organization is out to get them.
Rrrriiiigggghhhht.

I think I can step out on a limb and confirm this.
Edit: On the police scanner, it sounds like some old guy stumbled out of his house in his bathrobe and tv remote and now has 4 police robots undressing him in the middle of the street.
