I have finished all of the boe-bot related projects several times. I would like to go to the next step, and build/prototype my own circuit and program it. What parts do I need to order, if I wanted to start building my own? IE: ability to connect serial/usb to a breadboard and have it program my basic stamp.. etc? I want to order all of the parts soon and start learning.

Take a look at the OEMBS2, It has a serial DB9 port built in. with this and a bread board You have the whole setup.!
If nothing else take a look at the RS232 circuit on the OEMBS2. this can be used in Your project.
If Your set on USB, Then the "USB to RS232" converter can be used. Or You can look up ( MAX232 ) This is a FTDI chip, Their are others from FTDI to look at.

A USB to Serial converter (parallax)
A Serial plug with wires sticking out. You can either cut a cable and strip the wire, or do some fancy soldering to get there.
Some spare jumper wires.
Replicate the setup on the link that I posted above, then plug the USB to serial into your serial port.
Program with BS Editor.
