Long Exposures during day

I've been taking a lot of long exposures at night of different things that give off light, traffic, fountians, etc, and it got me thinking of doing some during the day, Ive gotten a few but I cant set the shutter speed to low or it captures to much light. Ive heard of a filter you can buy that makes it darker or soemthing along those lines. Any Ideas what the filters called?

Oh and I have a Nikon D60 Digital SLR

I've bought a Singh Ray 77 mm vari-neutral Density filter, allows you to go from a little dark to a whole lot dark, it's pricey, around $340 to $390, comes in a 77 mm size, and an 82 mm size. I bought adapters, i.e. step up rings for my lenses so I can use the filter with just about any lens I have. I love the filter.
