pic programmer

Hey, I'm sorry i'm coming in as one of the unwashed masses. please forgive my ignorance... I did figure out how to get my ardino board and processing to talk to each other on the mac. Yay, extremely cool.

I was looking at this site: http://www.rgbled.org/ and wondering if the arduino board can program chips other than the atmel? Assuming I had the software to do that...
