Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "Paul Wellstone, an outspoken liberal Democrat locked in a re-election battle considered key to control of the Senate, was killed in a plane crash today in northern Minnesota along with his wife, daughter and five others." 

Other reports: BBC, NY Times, CNN

Interesting change in referer rankings on Hack-The-Planet. 

Rogers Cadenhead is trying to talk to Advogato from Java. 

I'm getting emails from Blogger users about some kind of outage. Not sure what's up. Rob Fahrni, a Blogger user we trust, says "Yep, it looks like something screwy is going on." Danny O'Brien adds: "It looks like Blogger is under a serious hack attack, and MetaFilter is down, so it's hard for people to find out info." Danny has started a QuickTopic thread. Anil Dash has a thread too. And Pyra did the right thing (whew!) and took the server offline while they get a handle on things. 

Slashdot has a thread on the Blogger outage, and News.Com has a report

NY Times: "Investigators confirmed that the car in which they were arrested early [yesterday] morning contained the weapon used in the killings, a .223-caliber telescopic rifle." 

Someday, not very long from now, we'll argue over bragging rights for who has the first All-Web-Services-Authored weblog. For the record, that's this site, Scripting News. 

[Pics taken outside PacBell Park last night.What a game. Giants won 16-4. It was closer than it might appear. First 6-0. Then 6-2. Then 6-4. Everyone groans. Here we go again. Pray. Blow out. I've never been to a wilder more thrilling game. Kent came back. Aurilio, Lofton, Santiago, Bell, all heroes. Bonds, not that big a factor. The fans are great. The stadium wonderful. Had a great time with my friends Jake and Scoble. Awesome. 

Dan Shafer had the Game 5 play by play, with comment. 

NY Times: "If you analyzed Scioscia's revealing words before Game 5 last night, it sounded as if Bonds had as much of a chance as seeing a decent pitch in a crucial situation as he did of snorkeling with Jeff Kent in McCovey Cove." It's true they stopped Bonds. So everyone else on the Giants got on base, hit home runs, scored.
