You need to get, or have the key to add. :)

Couple ways to do it. The most common is probably to 'wget' the key and
pipe it to apt-key directly. This command line should fix you right
up...

$ wget -O - http://colino.net/colin.publickey | apt-key add -

Mind the dash at the end, it's important. ;)  If you want a local copy
of the key for any reason you can do this.

$ wget http://colino.net/colin.publickey
  ... bunch of wget output seen here
$ sudo apt-key add colin.publickey

That will leave you with a copy of colino.publickey in whatever
directory you were working in.
