A little about myself...
I am now a Component Design Engineer at Intel Corporation in Columbia, South Carolina.
I graduated from the Computer Science Department of The University of South Carolina with a masters degree in computer science.
My masters thesis is entitled "Four-Dimensional Cellular Automata and The Game of Life".
It envolves expanding John Conway's original two-dimensional "Game of Life" into four dimensions.
I have written a program entitled "Life 4D" which automatically searches for gliders and repeating patterns in the four-dimensional game of life as well as the two and three-dimensional games of life.
My masters thesis text (in PostScript), application source code, and a collection of gliders are available here:

Dr. Carter Bays has already explored a three-dimensional game of life and found several gliders under various rules.
