It's obviously me, but what?

Yes, it's Intel-only, so don't bother trying the G4.

On the Macbook Air, you should see the Chirp icon appear in your dock
after launching. For some reason OS X doesn't place the window in
focus, so you'll have to click the icon or Cmd-Tab before you see
anything.

If you still aren't seeing anything appear in the dock, try checking
Console.app in Utilities and ~/.chirp/debug.log for any error
messages.
