Connections between accretion disks and jets in accreting black holes are anticipated theoretically. In recent years, potential evidence for such connections has been emerging, most vividly in the convenient regime of stellar-mass black holes. In this contribution, various lines of evidence for disk-jet connections are briefly examined, from the standpoint of an observer focused on the role of the disk. While many lines of investigation may be promising in the future, obtaining multi-wavelength lightcurves and correlating jet flux in the radio band with physical parameters and phenomena tied to the accretion disk in X-rays may be the most direct.
