mail them copies from kinkos and include some cookies. Also, if your mom is hot, include some racy photos of her!! or, just do the online portfolio thing.
i usually have a compressed zip on my webserver that i include a link to when i apply. not ideal, but that works too if you dont have a web portfolio set up
Autocon, just had the chance to check your site out. Awesome work. In my humble opinion your site is the perfect portfolio. Good work, well presented, no fancy crap, and all the info needed. including a downloadable CV and images. I'm always reluctant to put my CV on a site, scared what info people may gain about me!
