I am currently playing around with CSS3 and trying to achieve a text effect like this (the black blurry inner shadow):
Seems everyone's got an answer to this one. I like the solution from @Web_Designer. But it doesn't need to be as complex as that and you can still get the blurry inner shadow you're looking for.

.depth {
display: block;
padding: 50px;
color: black;
font: bold 7em Arial, sans-serif;
position: relative;
}
.depth:before {
content: attr(title);
color: transparent;
position: absolute;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
