Distorted: text-align is only for inline elements, and vertical-align is too I think.
niceguyeddie: I don't think using margins to align is using the correct tool for the job.
The box_lessons site doesn't have any vertically aligned boxes.

I didn't just want to find out how to do the things, I've seen a lot of it, and what I see dissapointed me, not in terms of what can be achieved, but in terms of they way it is achived (as well as things that still cant be done).

Don't get me wrong, CSS is brilliant! It's a modern renaisance!
It's great that CSS is making cool and sexy visual designs possible while keeping structure/content seperate from style, but I can't see CSS doing all the things that were trivial with a table or two. And where people have used CSS to it's fullest, they've often had to use a lot of work-arounds, which is better than abusing tables, but highlights the current limits of CSS.
