Not really.  You can use the brick as a smart peripheral and drive it via 
ruby on a PC/Mac/whatever.  However, the IR interface leaves a lot to be 
desired.  I'm considering modifying a brick by adding a serial to USB 
converter so that I can have faster (9600 baud), full duplex, reliable 
communication.
