In 2008 at BrickCon in Seattle, I gave a presentation called “Half-Plate Offsets” about some LEGO building techniques that I had discovered/developed. In 2013, I dusted off those slides and added more things, renaming it “Brick Geometry,” and presented it at Bricks by the Bay and BrickCon, and the following year at Brickworld in Chicago. Each time I’ve made some corrections and additions to the slides. I continued to give updated versions of the talk at various events each year through 2015, and picked it up again as of 2017 when I went to an event in Portugal, and again at BBTB in 2018. For the virtual online BrickCon in 2020, I combined the two talks into a single presentation, since I wouldn’t have the luxury of showing my models in person which takes more time than just presenting the slides. Here are all the versions given so far.
[Latest Update 10/6/2020: added 2020 BrickCon edition of Brick Geometry, which includes slides from Bricks in All Directions.]

In addition, in 2015 I debuted a second talk, “Studs in All Directions.” I gave the talk without any slides at Bricks by the Bay, just using some of my models as props. For BrickCon, however, I put together a small deck of slides to present along with the models. I updated it further for BBTB in 2018. For the virtual online BrickCon in 2020, I combined the two talks into a single presentation, especially since this talk involves more in-person demonstration of my models. Here are all the versions of this presentation:
- 2020 BrickCon “Brick Geometry” includes Bricks in All Directions
- 2018 Bricks by the Bay
- 2015 BrickCon
