It bit me on my finger when I was trying to trap it to put it outside. Sorry about the crummy photo quality, I snipped the photos from a video I took of it.
I thought it kind of looked like a hobo spider, but it's only about the size of a quarter, and I'm way east of where they normally live. The bite is painful, but not excruciating as I've heard hobo bites tend to be.

Not in the same family as the hobo spider; it appears to be in the family Miturgidae, known as long-legged sac spiders or prowling spiders. They too are reputed to have a painful bite.
Cheiracanthium inclusum (Miturgidae)?
Good possibility, but I hesitate to be certain because of the image quality.
