i'm jake elliott. i live in chicago. i make games and software art, play techno records, and code websites. that's a picture of me over there (taken by ben syverson) ------>

from 2006-2007 i operated a free+open community computer lab in pilsen (chicago) called dai5ychain local network. that's where this domain name comes from. i had to close dai5ychain in 2007, but it looked like this. i'm trying to recover the content from the old dai5ychain local network website; hopefully that will be online here soon.

you can email me at:  jake (at) dai5ychain (dot) net.

You can also find me on twitter and tumblr.
