I’m surprised that many people are still asking me what an angry weasel has to do with software testing. The answer, of course, is nothing. I’m surprised however, how many people can visit my site at angryweasel.com/blog and never check out plain old angryweasel.com (where I happen to share the story of where the name came from).
I expect that this year, among other things, will mark the return of the Weasel – stay tuned.

Inspired by Tim Ferris, and more recently, Marcus Purvis (Five Share Friday), I too am going to start sharing five interesting-to-me ideas or links every Friday. Until/unless I forget. Here goes this week’s list. I’ve been reading a lot (a LOT) of management books recently. Last week, I completed Debugging Teams, and recommend it. I found…
I’ve been attempting to travel less recently, and I’m happy to say that beyond early November, I have no (work related) travel plans anywhere on the horizon. For better or for worse, I’ve had a deluge of great opportunities converge over the next thirty days.(for those of you who may be experiencing déjà vu, I…
Note: no direct information on software testing or software engineering is in this post. This is purely a trip report (that happens to be related to a trip I took to talk about testing). As I begin writing this, I’m in the middle of a trip to New Zealand and Australia. The main purpose of…
Between Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a busy schedule, I’ve gone without cable television for the last five or so years…up until a month or so ago when I bit the bullet (for a variety of reasons), and added a television package to our existing internet service. It’s working great so far, but the story about…
For testers, being skeptical is generally a good thing. When someone says, “Our application doesn’t have any reliability errors”, I, for one, am skeptical. I’ll poke and prod and (usually) find something they haven’t thought about. There’s power in skepticism. Last year, I led a team of testers in performing code reviews of production code….

I thought I knew what a weasel is. I had linked it to be the breed of walrus. Seeing “tooth of the angry weasel”, I used it for confirmation bias that I was right.
However, I got curious to know about why weasels are angry or what kind of animals they are. Then I spent about an hour plus and was surprised they don’t belong to the walrus family.
I too had this question of why you chose the name but now I know why you chose it. No, not because you disliked the guitarist but because you were dubbed so 🙂
The “Home” link on the top points to /blog rather than the home of the website. So it might have influenced some people to consider the fact that you use the blogger or wordpress to run your portal and the pages visible here are the ones that are available.
