This is what I'm seeing inside my console window.
What exactly am I looking at, and what do I do, in order to be able to begin mining?

You don't own any mining hardware it seems. Your PC hardware itself does not mine, it runs the mining hardware that you attach to it, and cgminer will connect to the pool happily waiting for you to plug in hardware that it recognises so that it can hotplug it.
