you can still use the serial port for a parallel output by adding a serial-to-parallel chip
although the programming is still in serial :)
and you can also use an LCD instead of LED for your display (imagine the error_log
scrolling on the LCD, yikes but it's fun to watch!). check out the Linux LCD display
driver.

some LCDs can read ascii directly from its serial input in which you can easily write
an output to the LCD thru a simple commandline or script after the device _initialization_
(setting of the baud rate, etc.).
ie.
shell> echo "hello" > /path/to/lcd_device
