The nice thing is that with about 2 lines of code changes I can have either
version.

I am also thinking about other ways of varying the depth of the bricks.  I am
currently using a moderately scaled f_snoise3d function to push the bricks out
and in from the intended plane of the wall.  It gives interesting effects where
bricks get pushed out at angles.  But there are other ways using warp repeat
patters where I could get the bricks to push out or in as a whole, allowing some
more interesting patterns of brick layout.
