Hi stevo.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that potential employers are often "too busy" to take the time to look over a website when they are hiring. It might work out well for "cold calling" on a company that is not advertising that they are hiring, but if there is an ad posted, they are usually inundated with paperwork and requests from job seekers, and can not take the time to review everyone's material. Especially if isn't handed to them in a ready to use format.
I would recommend sending a cover letter and cv/resume with a few printed samples, if at all possible. That will ensure that your work is seen, whereas a cd or url will more than likely be looked over because it is "Too time consuming".

It is funny how some employers consider point-and-click as more time consuming than flipping a page.

that's not necessarily so bad, but if you send them a letter, they have to
<gasp> TYPE the url in BY HAND! :o

True. Most people can't even finish a conversation without umming and ering these days, let alone press a few buttons.

Even the blondes can't have a conversation more intelligent than using the word "like" and a plethora of verbs.
That's slightly down from my generation's blondes.
Apologies to you brunettes at heart.

looks good.
I like much or your print stuff as well.
Very nice work. Your collage style (Give Climate some Credit, for example) is beautiful.
