We wrote nearly 300 posts, showing you everything from the gear of your dreams to the weirdest stuff Kyle could dig up from the fringes of the show floor. Christina had a mini mental breakdown and Tim's body broke down completely. Faced with so much hard work, it's really tough to choose a winner of the Off the Grid competition, which, among other things, required everyone to work only on a cellphone that couldn't be charged from a wall outlet. But somebody's gotta walk away with that fancy dinner.

3rd Place: Kyle VanHemert

Kyle's wonderful taste, keen trend-eye, and ability to get weird in the most charming way added great texture to the liveblog, making us happy to give him the bronze medal. Kyle scored a perfect 125 points for 5 days of competition, and took home the award for best photography. In the frenzy of the show floor, it's easy to just post some blurry crap and call it art, but Kyle took the time to frame each shot and tweak the color balance using apps like VSCOcam. He even shot and edited a super-slow-mo video of a bluetooth-controlled bird.
