Homebrew PCBs

I don't have any real experience with designing using microcontrollers 
but it looks like there is a pair serial data pins open on the 
processor.  Perhaps a serial LCD and an addition to the code would work?

Another option might be to just use that projects as the inspiration for 
a PIC controlled version. I know you can drive a HD44780 LCD directly 
from a PIC.  I would think you could drive a serial LCD module as well 
though I haven't specifically looked into that since I've only tinkered 
with the HD44780 so far.
