Anybody good at identifying spiders...?

I found this guy by my front door yesterday. Just curious if anybody knows what it is.

Now that I've done a bit more checking, maybe Cat-faced spider - Araneus gemmoides. Although it looks more like Araneus andrewsi, its range is supposedly limited to the West Coast.

Speaking of spiders, what does everybody think of this pic I took of a Hobo Spider - Tegenaria agrestis? A little too close for comfort?
