It sure is. Jason Roberts of the TechZing podcast coined it: http://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-surf...


See Jason? They ARE noticing. :-)


Wow, that's kinda cool! What's funny is that by simply coining the term "luck surface area" I've actually managed to increase my luck surface area. ;)


Led me to sign up for the AppIgnite notifier. :)


... in accordance with the prophecy (cue evil laugh). ;)


Jason, "luck surface area" is one of the best metaphors I've heard in a while, and certainly one of the most useful. It clarifies something that a lot of people don't realize: the harder you work and the more you get yourself out into the world, the more your chance of being lucky.
