How do I make that cool glass-like effect on top of my sig?

Step 3:
Create a New Layer (Ctrl+Shift+N), then take the Gradient tool and make a vertical gradient (Black to white) from the top from the selection to a little bit under it.

Set the layer blend mode to Screen

Now set the gradient blend mode to Screen and make a tiny gradient from just 8 px or so under the top edge of the selection to just above the top of the selection.
