Very interesting typographical effect on that page. Looks like a very minimal shadow, but has a huge effect on contrast.

That does look pretty neat. I dug this up:

    div.content {
        ...
        text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #bbb;

ok, I give up! this shadow was a point of disagreement between me and Lau :-)

I find it makes the text look a little too unfocused and blurry.
