Last Thursday, something very strange went down at the Museum of Natural History: Wired magazine hosted a party for its December issue (who said the era of magazine bashes was dead?) about space and sea exploration, guest-edited by Oscar-winning director James Cameron. Right, we don't get it either. But there were free drinks! As expected, the party was filled with tech luminaries acting as cool as possible, and Gawker special photographer Nikola Tamindzic was there to document the glossy geekery.
